[BUG] No Muxed streams

[jelle-limpens]

Since the 2.2.3 update there are no Muxed streams returning from Youtube video's. Is this final? No other clients succesful in returning muxed streams? As its highly inefficient to download video and audio and combine with FFMPEG. Tested this out and video is still downloading after 5 minutes

• Enviroment: [Flutter]
• Version [3.24.2]
• YoutubeExplode Version [^2.2.3]

Most likely yes, unless someone is able to find a client that still provides muxed streams; unfortunately currently it seems like removed all the clients the provide muxed streams.

I can't reproduce the issue regarding the download speed, I was able to download a 10minutes 1080p video in around 5 seconds (128 MiB)

So you got a working video with combining the video and audio using FFMPEG? As of now I got no working video by using FFMPEg

For others trying to implement a Youtube Video, https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_player_flutter, is an good (temporary) alternative. Player is not so good as pod_player combined with youtube explode, but very easy to implement and works like a charm

I've published a new version that partially is able to provide one muxed stream (360p) by using the android_music client, tough that works only for music videos.

I've had some success also using an android client, tough reading only seems like it might require a po_token so I'm not really sure if it's feasible to implement

Changed this. It's working for me.

Stream _getStreams(VideoId videoId, {required bool fullManifest}) async* { try {

  if (fullManifest) {
    await for (final stream
        in _getStream(videoId, VideoController.androidClient)) {
      yield stream;
    }
  }else{
    // Use await for instead of yield* to catch exceptions
    await for (final stream
    in _getStream(videoId, VideoController.iosClient)) {
      yield stream;
    }
  }
} on VideoUnplayableException catch (e) {
  if (e is VideoRequiresPurchaseException) {
    rethrow;
  }
  yield* _getCipherStream(videoId);
}

}

How to use final manifest = await yt.videos.streamsClient.getManifest(youtubeIdOrUrl, fullManifest: true);

Thanks for the solution. It worked for me with most YouTube videos but failed for some. 

Following are some of the YouTube video URLs that are not working for me. I am not getting the muxed streams for these URls and also the getManifest(youtubeIdOrUrl, fullManifest: true) function is taking so long to return the Stream Manifest data.

i reviewed your code, your way of adding audio to mute video is impressive.

Please update to the latest version, which includes a client (android) that should support low quality 360p muxed streams, however the most reliable solution is still downloading video and audio separately.
