I encounter a similar bug, more precisely a similar problem. Navigating Newpipe in Fire TV is quite difficult. The buttons I am talking about are not reachable at all.

Info I am using the latest version: 0.24.1 Android version/Custom ROM version: Fire OS 6.2.9.3 Device model: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

While using the remote it is not possible to navigate to the resolution, speed control, caption and fit buttons.

The bug/problem is quite old and has been around since I started using Newpipe on Fire OS (> a year). The closed bug report #6571 describes the problem perfectly. I guess it is just a problem of the Fire OS with selecting specific buttons and not really a bug.

Workaround for Video resolution is adjusting it in the settings.

PS.: not sure if I should open a new issue as I am new here....

I recently noticed that this bug does not affect the Fire TV Stick 3rd Generation.

I'm on fire os and experiencing a crash (different issue) but the buttons to report the crash on the screen that shows the stack trace are unreachable. It's the latest version of new pipe (at time of writing) and I think the TV was version 6.2..

Still happening in Fire TV 4K Max and NewPipe 0.26.1

Cannot reach the playback speed control

UPDATE: it happens on Fire TV 4K (Fire OS 6.x), but NOT on Fire TV 4K Max (Fire OS 7.x)
