Feature description

Be able to import an export from the PipePipe fork without crashing the app (best effort import).

Why do you want this feature?

PipePipe i a fork of NewPipe, which many people use if they need some of its features or because they want to try it out

However, when people want to switch back to NewPipe (it was mentioned on chat that PipePipe tends to be more buggy in situations), they cannot import their database, NewPipe will crash after import.

Additional information

There is a python script which does the migration already, so implementing would be as simple as

• detecting that the db is a PipePipe db
• including these small database changes into the Importer

Furthermore, we should stabilize the import in a way that does not make NewPipe crash after import. Though that’s probably a separate bug report.

Well if PipePipe changed the DB format there is not much we can do. Closing as won't fix, we can't try to import stuff and adapt to every possible fork's database out there. The solution to this would be something like https://github.com/UniversalPipeWrench, though the progress there is stale.
