When i go to play any video i am getting this issue on latest version, before this was something like extract issue.

Stypox commented 4 years ago

Please explain further what you mean by this issue and extract issue. Anyway this is most probably duplicate of #2896

But after update now i am facing above issue.....now i reverted back to older one, atleast now i can play video.

I am having the same issue with latest F-Droid version. Any video opens a recaptcha challenge. When I hit submit, the video opens in a webview, like an embedded browser. There seems to be no other way of watching videos right now, which is bad. I can't go in full screen mode or even change the orientation without the recaptcha reloading.

I have found the reason why the recaptcha challenges are being triggered here. It is the VPN server I am using. If I change it or disable it, the recaptcha stops. But I still consider it a problem, cause the app can't handle the challenges properly when they do happen.

mehedihasanziku commented 4 years ago

It's not a vpn issue, i use this app without vpn, official app/website working perfectly, but this app not performing well sometime, i don't have an idea why it's started behaving like that

Stypox commented 4 years ago

If I find some time I will look into this, though I don't know if I will be able to find anything since I can't reproduce ReCaptchas

mehedihasanziku commented 4 years ago

I hope it can be fixed, and then maybe this issue will be cleared automatically

The Recaptcha will appear anyway (there is nothing that can be done to prevent it), but the resolution will work

omarroth commented 4 years ago

FWIW, it should be possible to completely bypass this type of CAPTCHA using QUIC, although I'm not in a position to say how much work it would require to switch the NewPipe over to a new networking stack.

See also my comment in omarroth/invidious#957.

Is this an issue of ip address reputation , shared address, user agent, or access pattern?

I don't know if I will be able to find anything since I can't reproduce ReCaptchas

@Stypox

I'm leery to suggest but there are "free", low quota, "privacy" vpn services. I won't name any. (XPrivacy reveals harvesting problems with certain provider apps.) This should allow exploration of reputation issue or shared address issue. DNSBL might provide the distinction.

I also use an adblocking DNS. This might be a factor, but I'm not ever not-filtering.

Could you test this apk? The reCAPTCHA activity is shown, the user can resolve the reCAPTCHA (or follow the instructions, or do whatever they want), and then press back or "Done" to exit. app-debug.apk @ChairmanMkay @mehedihasanziku @abbluiz

Stypox commented 4 years ago

Here is a direct apk download (the other was .zip): app-debug.apk
