Youtube Music playing issue

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

What happened?

I open youtube music sign in and then try to play a song however there is no play button and the time says 0:00 / NaN:NaN. This does not happen when not signed in. I have also tested this on a fresh clean version of waterfox with no configuration and the issue persists. This issue does not happen in Firefox

Reproducible?

[ ] I have tested this on Firefox.

Version

G4

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Relevant log output

No response

This happens for me too, both on Linux and Windows.

I have tested some things:

Logging out of my YouTube Music account seems to solve the issue but as soon as I log back in again playback doesn't work
Erasing cookies won't help

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

I can confirm that those steps also do not work.

Could you attach some log output for this please? Hopefully the browser console (cmd + shift + j) will display something of value, if not web inspector output will have to do.

Have you tried overriding the user agent:

Go to about:config
Add a new preference, general.useragent.override
Set the string value to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
If the above doesn't work, try changing the end to Firefox/99.0 and rv:99.0

Let me know the outcome of that, thanks.

I tested those and nothing seemed to change do I have to restart the browser though?

adamp01 commented 2 years ago

If you go to about:preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Data -> Search for youtube and remove all occurences, does that work? I was able to replicate the issue but doing this resolves things UNTIL you refresh, then it breaks again and have to do the same. It seems to be a weird caching error from the YouTube side.

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

I can verify that this works but also signs you out. I would agree that it might be a caching error however this issue was not present in previous versions so there is also most likely a bug on our side as well

adamp01 commented 2 years ago

Do you recall which previous versions were working, and can you verify that is still the case on those versions? cdn.waterfox.net

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

The version labeling is not clear what is the version scheme?

adamp01 commented 2 years ago

On the cdn you want to be looking at waterfox-g4.{minor}.{patch}.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

Thanks!

kcoderhtml commented 2 years ago

Every G4 release in the list had this problem. I also retested it with firefox and the issue did not appear.
My testing procedure is as follows:

Unzip archive containing release
Run waterfox with ./waterfox
Goto https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUW5ZkblTs&list=OLAK5uy_kZ2SAX1x6Nlf1qj_Z-RHB2he9uXXiuuNs
Play music for a few seconds
Reload page
Observe results
