No videos play

[yodaluca23]

This is happening to all/most third-party YouTube apps. I'm pretty sure YouTube did something and broke their API but no YouTube video loads. It just shows a yellow exclamation mark (⚠️) and video doesn't load, everything else works search, and everything else but not actually playing videos.

An update could be needed for the youtube.js dependency, but as the latest version is breaking there need to be some major adaptions, espacially for the account management.

I adapted this already on my downloader-backup branch and there seems to be no issues.

I tied to apply the changes to https://github.com/Duell10111/ReactTube/tree/youtube-js-upgrade, you can try that one and check if it is working there. :)

Shouldn't be a issue anymore with current version

[yodaluca23]

Can confirm it's working :) thank u!

Does it still work for you?

[Duell10111]

@Blackspell01 It still works for me with the latest version on the main branch, I merged today. :)

Here is the latest.

Never minds,those expired. You can fork it and run the workflow yourself.

Otherwise you can try my latest 0.1.3 build.

I will try to fix the issue that the artifacts are not mapped to the releases atm.

Unfortunately it still doesnt play any kind of video for me :(.

[Duell10111]

On what platform are you using the App? iOS, tvOS?

[Blackspell01]

tvOS. Maybe I have to reinstall it but I cant unfortunately because my apple account has 0/10 resigns left currently

[Duell10111]

Hmm, okay what Video Resolution Type are you using http or hls?
You can change this in the settings.
You could try to use HLS.

[Blackspell01]

Ah, now it works, thanks. :)

Do you think the login capability will be repaired anytime soon?

[Duell10111]

Yes at least for TV there is a fix in work.
I added the TV endpoints to the youtubei.js library I use, but currently the PR therefore is not merged.
LuanRT/YouTube.js#872

I have a testing branch on github where the login works again for tvOS, if you want to test yourself:
But this has to be built by yourself. :D
