WizeStream is an independently maintained Android streaming app based on NewPipe. It adds a distinct WizeStream identity, Material 3 design, playback enhancements, and its own update channel.
No. WizeStream is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the official NewPipe project, TeamNewPipe, or NewPipe e.V. Upstream attribution and license notices are preserved in the app and repository.
The stable application ID remains org.wisso.newpipematerial so existing WizeStream installations can receive updates without losing app data. Changing it would create a separate Android application. Internal upstream namespaces, database identities, preference keys, and notification-channel IDs are also retained where changing them would break compatibility.
Yes. They use different Android application IDs. WizeStream Nightly also has a separate application ID and can be installed alongside the stable build.
WizeStream supports compatible NewPipe backup data. Export from the source app, open WizeStream's Settings > Backup and restore, and select the exported ZIP. Keep a copy of the original backup until you have verified the imported data.
Open Settings > Device synchronization on two WizeStream devices, show the one-time QR code on one device, and scan it with the other. Paired devices can synchronize directly over the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, either manually or approximately once per hour in the background. See the device synchronization guide for full instructions.
Device synchronization supports subscriptions, feed groups, playlists, watch history, playback progress, home tabs, content-filter selections, per-channel playback profiles, allowlisted settings, and completed-download metadata. Search history is excluded by default and is exchanged only when it is enabled on both devices.
No. WizeStream synchronizes completed-download metadata, not video or audio files. A missing item is shown as Not local and can be fetched from its original source with Download on this device.
Use the same source from which you installed it whenever possible. IzzyOnDroid users should update through their F-Droid-compatible client. Direct installations can use signed WizeStream GitHub releases or the in-app GitHub release checker.
Service support comes from the pinned WizeStreamExtractor source included with each WizeStream build. See the main README for the current list.
Use the WizeStream repository's issue form for WizeStream-specific problems. Check whether a service or extractor failure also affects upstream NewPipe before reporting it. Do not include private URLs, cookies, passwords, or other sensitive data in a public report.
