So, yt-dlp guys (same as everyone else) experience the same problem and they noticed it’s not yet present if using tv client so i’ve also switched the library to tv client and now its working again. It won’t work forever, it will break eventually but maybe it will buy me enough time to implement the new player
Yep, and youtube are doing it on purpose.
This is why most people base their YT apps on youtube-dl/yt-dlp these days, because a) they are usually the fastest to react to these changes and b) do it in a compatible way, meaning usage of the library/utility does not change.
Just dont read the thread if you dont care about the app. Be thankful that there are still people actively developing apps for sfos because without them the os is dead.
He can keep his blog at his own site, this is sfos forum, not mister magister blog, we know the app is broken again (more than not broken), who cares, the fact he’s soliciting donations in other threads while promoting piracy is really an overkill
I wonder if regenerating po token would help. If you’re on latest version and are able to modify files via terminal then edit ~/.config/microtube/microtube.conf and remove poToken and poTokenTimer then start app. I meant to add button that force regenerates it but i have limited amount of time
Also need to fix the title and channel parsing since switching to tv client that will also be coming… soonish
Ah no sorry i’ve confirmed it, even with clearing po token it doesn’t work. I guess youtube updated the tv client as well
Now unless there’s yet another workaround microtube will be broken until i spend considerable amount of time implementing new player (which everyone who knows what is needed to be done knows its insane amount of work)
Anyway, not sure it’s related to your issues, but starting today (maybe yesterday, but I only noticed it today) Newpipe on android cannot show videos at a higher resolution than 360p.
When stuff like this happens, it’s usually because Youtube changed something on their end.
Maybe that’s what’s messing with your player.
Man recently youtube’s been messing up with everyone and if anyone thinks that x thing works better is just mistaken. Any change in api affects everyone equally i literally pulled the workaround from yt-dlp xd
Everyone currently is working on the SABR and I’ll have too, till then i’ll just add button to regenerate po token cause that mechanism doesn’t seem to be working too well
So I wanted to go to sleep and watch some videos, I watched one and microtube broke, and i kid you not i’ve been in this exact situation MANY TIMES lately where at 3am i’m debugging what doesn’t work and the usual fix of regenerating po token sadly also doesn’t work. From what I’ve seen I’m not getting a single format. Could be youtube changes that lib has to fix. I’m also not sure if its just me or not
