Additional context
i'm struggling with the playback since 4.0.0 and even more so since 4.0.1 was rolled, but don't want to add yet another issue as I can relate to the existing ones, that are open (very frustrated to the point, at which I have to watch some vids through my browser). Now happy to catch this NullPointerException.

Do not take my words personally. Before 4.0.0 I had very little complaints about the app. And i love new Backup meny option. Hope, this report is helpful.

Can you check if there is anything abnormal in your log? You can use logcat to record it.

I don't quite get it. I am not able to build an app in Android studio to logcat it. But I did run logcat in termux on my smartphone and recorded its output while PipePipe caught the same type of crash at 12:04:
