Detailed changes:
- External players:
- Add a message instruction about stream selection;
- Add a message when there is no stream available for external players;
- Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones.
- Player:
- Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones;
- Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters);
- Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams;
- Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents).
- Download dialog:
- Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading;
- Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages;
- Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format.
- ListHelper:
- Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them.
- Tests:
- Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor.
- Other places:
- Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor;
- Improve some code related to the files changed.
- Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes:
- Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor));
- Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio;
- Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams);
- Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start;
- View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams);
- Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams;
- Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor).
Add annotations to methods and parameters.
Replace Jetbrains' @NotNull with Androidx' @NonNull annotatiation.
Make class variables static if possible.
Use constants for some Strings.
Simplify if conditions.
The wrong @Decorator was put in the wrong place to mark the throwable fieldd as transient, now this is fixed and the exception is not serialized. So if a non-serializable throwable is passed, that's not an issue, since it's not going to be serialized. The need for EnsureExceptionSerializable is also gone.
Rename URLHandler and KoreUtil classes to InternalUrlsHandler and KoreUtils.
Move InternalUrlsHandler, KoreUtils, TextLinkfier, ShareUtils classes to external_communication subpackage.
Remove unused param showPreviewText in shareText method of ShareUtils class.
Add initial work to be able to display an image preview of the content shared (not for downloads).
Use a better regular expression to parse timestamps in plain text descriptions.
Add a boolean param, showToast, in ShareUtils.openIntentInApp and only show toast "No app on your device can open this" if this boolean is true.
Fix the action of play with Kodi button by applying the fix provided in #5599 (adding the flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to the intent in NavigationHelper.playWithKore method).
Do also some cleanup in viewWithFileProvider and shareFile methods of MissionAdapter class.
Bug:
In Downloader view, while deleting items, Snackbars at the
bottom of the UI keep queuing up. You need to wait for all
of them to dismiss themselves for files to actually be
deleted. If you close NewPipe before all snackbars are
dismissed, your files will not be deleted and show up again
next time you start NewPipe.
Fix:
When running append(), trigger the commit() action
immediately and cancel all delayed callbacks for commit().
This prevents Snackbars from stacking up in reverse order.
Fixes: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/5660
It will be shown even when nothing could be loaded not due to a network error, and the user can choose to ignore or report it.
Also improve error reporting arguments
Also completely refactor error activity
Also improve some code here and there

Improve NewPipe's share on some devices + fix crash when no browser is set on some devices
Catching ActivityNotFoundException when trying to open the default browser
Use an ACTION_CHOOSER intent and put as an extra intent the intent to
open an URI / share an URI when no default app is set.
Add a LinkHelper class which set a custom action when clicking web links
