## Investigation notes (not yet a PR — to be evaluated)

- **inputstream.adaptive — `file://` not supported by libcurl downloader**
  ([kodi addon, xbmc/inputstream.adaptive on github](https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive))
  Hit during torttube M7 DASH work 2026-05-23. Loading an MPD from a local
  filesystem path via `file:///storage/.kodi/temp/torttube/<id>.mpd` fails
  with `CURLOpen returned an error, download failed`. Common workaround
  is a localhost HTTP server (plugin.video.youtube does this). Worth
  filing an enhancement request to either accept `file://` or document
  the recommended pattern.
- **Kodi — "Logic error due to two concurrent busydialogs" fatal**
  Reproduced during rapid back-to-back `Player.Open` calls while a
  previous play's BusyDialog was still dismissing. Log message itself
  says "this is a known issue", but the app HARD-exits rather than
  silently dropping one of the dialogs. Look up the upstream tracker
  before filing.

## Watching (not ours, but relevant to torttube)

| Project | PR/Issue | Title | Why we care |
|---------|----------|-------|-------------|
| rustypipe | [PR #77](https://codeberg.org/ThetaDev/rustypipe/pulls/77) | "Some fixes" | Open 2026-05-23, unmerged. If maintainer stays quiet we may need to help land it or fork. |
| NPE | [#1339](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1339) | n-parameter deobfuscation broken | Core to playback. Fix here = fix in our Tier-1. |
| NPE | [#1444](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1444) | Distinguish unavailable vs unextractable | Clean typed-error PR target. |
| NPE | [#1360](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1360) | Refactor link handlers | "help wanted" label. |
| NPE | [#1357](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1357) | JDoc checks in PR pipeline | "good first issue" — smallest credible first PR. |

## Posture

- Every sidecar bug we trace ends with one question: **is the root cause
  in rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp?** If yes, fix it there first; pull the fix
  into our sidecar via dep bump or backport.
- We are not pretending to be on the rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp maintainer
  level. We're a downstream consumer that does its share.
- A merged PR > a forked patch. A fork is the last resort, not the first move.
