[Bug]: 80% of videos get loaded as legacy #5370

This issue contains only one bug.

Describe the bug

Have the setup for DASH video formats as preference
Play some videos
Realize, that most of the videos don't load DASH but lower resolution legacy format
compare with youtube - DASH formats are available and work fine at high resolution

Expected Behavior

If DASH formats are available (e.g. via youtube directly) it should load these formats, not fall back to legacy low res.

Issue Labels

feature stopped working, race condition

FreeTube Version

v0.21.0 Beta

Operating System Version

Ubuntu 24.04

Installation Method

.deb

Primary API used

Local API

Last Known Working FreeTube Version (If Any)

v0.21.0 Beta

Additional Information

I guess youtube is getting wiser with blocking freetube out by providing lower resolution than selected (in my case 1080p) and only legacy video formats to freetube. There is no error message about loading a different format, because legacy is the "right" fallback if DASH cannot be loaded.

Expected behaviour would be that when DASH is selected as the preferred video format, that it loads that video. But I guess youtube found a way to prevent this somehow. Now I am watching videos that just look awful, cannot change (or view - "show video statistics" does not work also) the video resolution, but realize that it is half (720p) or below that by the looks of it.

I think it has not so much to do with version v0.21.0 Beta, because on release date I did not have these issues. My guess is that google / youtube reacted somehow, to mostly provide low res and legacy formats to freetube.

Am I the only one getting this? Or are there more users that realize these issues?

Nightly Build

I have encountered this bug in the latest nightly build.

By the way: sometimes the same video, not loading as DASH can be reloaded (F5 / Ctrl-R) and load as DASH, or then load as legacy low-res again.

This sounds like #5350.

This sounds like #5350.

Indeed sounds like it.

@RevAngel7 could you check for red errors in the dev tools (ctrl + shift+ i).

Launch FreeTube
Open dev tools
Go to a video to reproduce the bug
Make a screenshot of the red errors

shift-ctrl-i

video with error:

video OK after pressing ctrl-r:

It's a 403 (forbidden) from youtube (not like #5350 )
Today the rate dropped to a lower 20% from the 80% yesterday. So it is, I would guess, not client-sided but server-sided.

I started having this problem too, and this is different from my own issue at #5350. Unlike my own issue which would stop randomly regardless of where in the video progress, I have been experiencing this issue when clicking a video and it would not play at all and display the error from the comment above #5370 (comment)

So you can get a 403 forbidden (from youtube) in mid-video when skipping (over the point of already preloaded) segments?

Is this issue still present on v0.21.1?

RevAngel7 · 2024-07-11T20:25:00Z

Wow, what happened to your name @efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc (efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc)? Nevermind.

Tested v0.21.1 with about 30 videos and none gave the issued behaviour. Thank you for your efficient work and all you have done for the project, to all people involved!

RevAngel7 · 2024-07-11T20:43:40Z

Of course, number 31...

403 error, as before. Here the video link and the error screenshot:

CTRL-R could resolve the problem, DASH was loaded.

It looks like this is not a phenomenon that touches this app only. This is a German new article from heise online:

I have been getting the same inconsistent behavior.

Relevant console screenshot

Watching this video

I got there from the channel page, and I had seen the video before. Reloading the page loaded as a non legacy video

RevAngel7 · 2024-07-25T13:49:12Z

2024-07-25 zero functionality of freetube.
Loading any video means you get a load-flip-loop between DASH and legacy and probably incidious. I cannot get you any screenshots or logs from that, because it is a load-error-switch-loop.
I saw 403 errors when pressing shift-ctrl-i .

efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc · 2024-07-25T15:18:19Z

see #5456 (comment)

RevAngel7 · 2024-07-25T20:30:08Z

v0.21.2 Beta works again.

RevAngel7 · 2024-08-02T07:55:43Z

I am sorry to report that since yesterday I have zero functionality again.
The previous workaround, to press CTRL-R to reload the video (more than a couple of tries may be necessary) does not work any more. At least it does not loop this time, but stops with an invidious error.

efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc · 2024-08-02T08:11:11Z

This issue IS fixed. We are going to do a release soon!

efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc · 2024-08-02T08:11:41Z

For updates follow #5502

RevAngel7 · 2024-08-02T08:27:14Z

OK, sorry. Maybe I just had to be a bit more patient without the information about the new release.
Thanks for the heads up!

RevAngel7 · 2024-08-03T10:18:16Z
