I have had issues for the past few months.
Rotating while a video is playing causes the app to crash. I have not noticed anything as far as resolution changes go. But this is a very aggravating bug and it also doesn't save position of the video.

[GfEW]

I can confirm this still crashes in 26.1 (UPDATE: 27.2), and add to it that the same crash (according to the error log, except for slighty different numbers) also gets triggered if the subtitle menu rather than resolution menu is open during auto rotation.

(The playback speed dialog can be rotated just fine.)

[ItsHarper]

I got this crash when I tapped the resolution selection button on the external display of a Razr 2024 running Android 15.

At a minimum this will be fixed by the partial rewrite, since this is specifically an error related to the view system that NewPipe is moving away from.
