Hello there!
As there are many microtube users, and microtube often unfortunately stops working, people have trouble reporting bugs and I have trouble fixing them if I don’t even know its broken (I don’t really use microtube), hence I thought I’ll create this thread.
Here I’ll prompt if I’m aware that microtube is down and you can prompt me if something in microtube breaks. I hope for feedback because, again, I don’t use microtube so I never know if its broken. If I know its broken sooner, I can fix it sooner.
So please, notify me as soon as something, anything, breaks, not just video playback!

Oh and yes its broken right now
Thanks for opening the thread. Currently video playbacks don’t work with forbidden errors. Also it does not load videos of some subscribed channels.

Subscription download works perfectly. When playing a video, the following message comes from Microtube: “forbidden”

I will check it
Microtube has so much functionality that its not possible for me to check everything
Does jupii integration still work for example? xd nobody knows!
Why don’t you use microtube and what is your main phone now with what os?
My main phones are Moto G2 and X2
I watch youtube on desktop I have no reason to watch it on a phone, tho on my new tablet port its sweet still no reason to
Seems to be dead again, but not on all videos
Unless it’s just me, microtube is broken again

IT IS BROKEN AGAIN!
2 days after the lib was updated. It was working for 2 goddang days. Author changed something in how lib works and now i cannot get stream urls at all
Alright update, its youtube messing up again. Apparently i have to implement something called SABR? I have no clue how to do that nor do I have time to do that in the next 2-3 days so…
Microtube broken for longer this time because fuck youtube 
Oh also, it won’t be done quickly at all. Server ABR youtube rolled in breaks compatibility with EVERY client. Everything is broken and everything needs to implement it and implementing it in gstreamer will be MASSIVE pain in the butt I don’t even know if i’ll be able to

So microtube started slowly dying for me, i had to constantly fetch new po token but today, even if i fetch new po token it just doesn’t return formats at all. nobody else complained to me yet so i’m not sure if its just me but it is related to the new player bullshit. I’ll look for a way to still get the stream urls

I’m also experiencing problems with microtube since yesterday.
These daily API changes are really challenging. I experienced the same issue when releasing Flipclock (with weather display) for AmigaOS4. One idea comes to my mind: put some code on your server so your app connects to it and asks how to handle the stream (addresses, etc.). This way, you only need to maintain that server info script for your app and, in the best case, won’t need to change it in the app repeatedly.
But this is easy to say in this David vs. Goliath battle.
>so invidious? but its not like its gonna help per explanation above
