When downloading in a (desktop) web browser, the file is saved under a temporary name, and then renamed when the download is finished.

Could newpipe do the same on Android? Maybe as a setting, if anyone depends on how it currently works?

Reason? I use newpipe to download Youtube videos on wifi, then watch them in VLC later. But VLC is really bad at refreshing its cache, and if it ever sees a 0 byte file that Newpipe is getting ready to download, it will cache this file as unplayable. Renaming the file after the download finishes solves the problem.

You could argue that this is a VLC bug, but 1. Web browsers already do this (at least on desktop), and 2. There are 10+ year old ignored bug reports about this on the VLC bug tracker.

Adding a rename to Newpipe is probably much easier than fixing whatever mess the VLC cache is.

I know of Sega. They were the ones who built Out Run, if I'm not mistaken. But I know basically nothing about their home consoles, I may have seen one in a store once upon a time, but I don't know which one it was. I only remember it being black and red and looking like cheap plastic.

In short: I have no idea what you're talking about.

I've been considering a Switch since the Switch 1 came out, and recently the Steam Deck started to look like an interesting alternative - and I don't like only having a single option. So when I hear something that doesn't fit what I thought the Steam Deck is, I ask questions.

Nintendo leads on games that I don't currently have available and experience building consoles, while Valve leads on familiarity and trustworthiness. But you wanted to argue number of games.

Ha ha, you're not very good at being funny.

Let me rephrase, those numbers are not relevant to the numbers I was talking about.

Also, if you want to argue number of games, you should only count those that don't already run on my pc, because those are the ones I'll be playing there.
