Is Google catching on to NewPipe extractor? (lemmy.ml)

Caught this is on one of the piped instance. Every video on this instance has the same warning. Piped is an opensource privacy frontend for YouTube, which uses NewPipe's youtube extractor.

Which videos? On newpipe 0.25.1 I'm having no issues, but it might be due to the videos, who knows... On freetube I'm not having issues either BTW (though not related to newpipe AFAIK)...

It seems that long videos like this: https://piped.mha.fi/watch?v=m3att9ydcxc

No issues in newpipe, though piped.mha.fi is not a valid URL on newpipe, still searching for the video m3att9ydcxc does it. No issues on freetube either, neither with invidio instances, like:

All videos on this insance seems that way. https://piped.palveluntarjoaja.eu.

I dug deeper and it seems like an outdated instance issue (probably using an older newpipe extractor). this was fixed in newpipe in late 2022. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/8713
