I appear to have also be experiencing the issue, though since OP has not provided much details, I can't be sure, though the symptoms appear the same. Specifically SystemUI crashes while a video is loading, for me in some cases this appears to make tubular not able to load the video, causing a crash loop requiring the device to be rebooted, in others there is a singular crash during which tubular does manage to load the video, thus allowing the device to be used without rebooting. I have tested NewPipe and I have not been able to experience the issue, though I havent tried that hard, since the issue is rather common on Tubular.

I'm using:

• tubular 0.27.7
• a motorola e22
• android 12L, seemingly close to but not quite AOSP? the build number (if it gives any info) is SOV32.121-56-47 (which does not match the build number conventions used by android so idk, the Baseband version is MOLY.LR12A.R3.MP.V222.P32,MOLY.LR12A.MP.V222.P32)

The SystemUI crashlog

~~This issue, at least on my device, appears to be fixed on androids side by 55e80e8 (5 years ago btw)~~

edit: ~~before that commit there was a separate check above where the exception happens? I'm not sure if thats the case then or maybe the OEM tried to "fix" the same issue by removing the check??~~ this commit is also from before android 12 so nope

a workaround on the user end is to disable the "Tubular notification" notification category (Settings>Apps>Tubular>Notifications, set the toggle next to "Tubular notification" to off).

@MinekPo1 Is disabling Tubular notification category completely solve the problem? If yes, probably there is a bug in notification system
