bit-garden commented 2 weeks ago

It should be mentioned that yt-dlp yesterday started throwing 403 errors.

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10397

This sounds like YouTube has made changes that are breaking 3rd party access.

ACR-Jeff commented 2 weeks ago

Youtube is messing with 3rd party apps again. It's happening on other apps as well.

joshuabengal commented 2 weeks ago

Same here. No videos will play, no channel pages will load.

Worth noting that on my PC, PotPlayer can still play videos just fine. Last time this happened (NewPipe failed to play a video but PotPlayer plays it), it was a result of YouTube doing A/B testing targeting different platforms.

Player005 commented 2 weeks ago

Same issue here. First started just occasionally occurring on some videos, now no videos play at all. Changing DNS to cloudflare or quad9 doesn't change anything, same goes with deleting metadata cache.

Grayjay android app also still works. That's what I am using in the meantime.

ACR-Jeff commented 2 weeks ago

The only thing I can get working is other apps that utilize the invidious instances, Everything else just fails

XiangRongLin commented 2 weeks ago

The guys over at youtube-dl have an approach. Details are still a bit sparse, but youtube changed the javascript code snippet that we parse out of the whole file in order to bypass the throttling. I don't have a working setup anymore for newpipe + extractor anymore so I will need some time if no one else has time https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32842#issuecomment-2218134082 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32842#issuecomment-2220376175

The regexes here probably need to be adjusted ~~and the String.prototype.split.call(a, "") needs to be replaced with a.split("") since rhino does not support that according to the user~~ they use a different JS runtime

XiangRongLin commented 1 week ago

Fix is in the works. for now you can use the debug APK from here https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/1191

Stypox commented 1 week ago

Fixed by TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1191. A hotfix release is in the making.

http403 commented 1 week ago

Sorry to break the news but after updating to 0.27.1, same 403 error at 00:59 mark. Wonder if this is related. A complete restart of the app will "fix" the problem.

stenterstal commented 1 week ago

I think that is a different issue related to #11191. I got it temporarily fixed by using the fix from that thread;

I have an idea for a workaround: Make a PR that causes NewPipe to automatically wipe the metadata cache and begin replaying the video from wherever it left off at every time this error occurs since wiping the metadata cache (in Settings -> History and Cache -> Wipe Cached Metadata) seems to make this issue go away temporarily.

opusforlife2 commented 1 hour ago

So, Youtube changed something again and this issue resurfaced. It's already fixed in the code, so just wait a little and it'll be out in a new version.
