How can I retry downloading failed downloads with NewPipe?

Question

I downloaded a few YouTube videos with NewPipe on Android. Some downloads failed (0 bytes):

I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra running Android 13.

I would check the logcat for any messages/errors and then check for similar issue tickets on NewPipe — Morrison Chang

You have a few options you can try.

Open Menu (the 3 horizontal bars on the top left) -> Downloads. Are the failed files still listed under "Pending"? If yes, you can restart, the download manually.
If not, open Menu -> History. If you previously played the videos, they will be listed there. You can then long press the desired videos and select Download.
If options 1 and 2 have failed, then you need to search the videos using the search option on NewPipe. Use the filename(s) (excluding the extension) to find the video page(s). When found, you can then select Download to redownload.
