It is intended to spoof the video streams to the web client. For this NewPipeExtractor is used with a PoTokenProvider implementation from NewPipe which uses a background WebView to pass BotGuard. It is assumed, that issues like playback, audio tracks and co would go away. However, NewPipe is not authenticating against YouTube, so some changes may be necessary.
