No audio while using VLC external player with 720p videos about newpipe

[Lavrick]

Can confirm this bug with MX player and nightly build of newpipe.
Also, when I'm checking video info in mx player, there is no audio stream. 360p works fine, just 720p broken.

Confirming the issue with latest NewPipe and VLC player.
Resolution 720p no audio stream, worked fine 1 week ago or so.

The hell? There used to be a speaker icon next to those resolutions which had combined audio tracks, but it doesn't show for me on any resolution now.

Edit: I don't get audio for even 360p.

I've just tested and 360p seems to be working fine with VLC for me at the moment. Also quickly tested on mpv-android and I see the same behaviour.

Just guessing here, but maybe 360p not working for you is a region problem? I'm currently in the EU. Spain to be more precise. Maybe 360p is not supposed to work at the moment, but this change has still not been rolled to my region... As I said, just guessing as I lack the general context of how things work on YT.

Also, I can't remember seeing the speaker icon in the past, but that's a topic for another issue I guess.

I think this issue may be related to what invidious is currently facing in iv-org/invidious#4759.

Good catch. Itag22 is indeed the very resolution that contains audio.

Itag 22 is confirmed to be gone (2nd last heading in the post): #11260

Goodbye 720p with audio. You had a good run. We shall miss you dearly.
