We need to wait for some extractor changes and then implement a proxy for SABR.

I don't have any interest in working on that though since I personally don't use Piped anymore.

Looks like it's now temporarily fixed in the new extractor version.

I was able to drop-in NewPipeExtractor into Piped-Backend, just with a few tweaks to Piped-Backend.

This patch has the required changes if people don't want to wait for Piped's NPE fork to update and are OK with using a custom Piped-Backend version.

@hugoghx how do I apply the patch for building in docker?

@hugoghx how do I apply the patch for building in docker?

I tried it with git apply <name of patchfile> but this didn't work out due to some "corruption error". Instead I manually updated the files and built the container image.

If you want, you could build your image with docker container build . -t <cool name here> using the applied changes in my repo https://git.ghoscht.com/ghoscht/piped-backend. You could always also apply the changes from the patch file yourself and rebuild.

Thanks, didn't know about git apply, Here's the image: https://hub.docker.com/r/nieveve/piped-backend

Thank you so much! This solves it for me.
