could you please check whether ytm is working fine for you or not?

[60d74]

yes, it works fine with the same song

[60d74]

also, the removed songs are played as well since i use a non-US VPN

[60d74]

in yt music, i mean

[anandnet]

Then this app should work as well. Try new version once

[60d74]

no, still the same with latest github ver

[60d74]

i noticed that piped clients such as libre are not working too

[andreatede2002]

I have the same issue!

[jacobot1]

Same issue here. No songs whatsoever will play. I even tried Spotube. Same result. The weirdest thing is that it worked fine this morning. It still works with a VPN.

Hola, tengo es mismo problema, podrían decirme cómo solucionarlo? Ahora no puedo reproducir ninguna canción en español, me gustaría también sacarle la restricción para menores ya que soy mayor.

Good evening, I downloaded the newest version today. It worked for 10 minutes and now I get the SONG IS NOT PLAYABLE DUE TO SERVER RESTRICTION! message when I try to play any song.

Thank you.

[andreatede2002]

Strangely, since this morning the application has started working again, and the music plays without any issues.

UPDATE (about 4 hours later): It stopped working again

[A-J-Mortimer]

Same here, Can´t play anything.

EDIT: ·30 secconds after posting this, I selected one of my playlists which was not playing and its playing as normal now.

SECOND EDIT: only 1/10 songs actually play

[anandnet]

Thanks all for reporting, Will release a new version with available solution.

Thanks for the quick response regarding the bug with the songs not playing due to server restrictions.

I’m curious about what might have caused this issue. Are there any ways to create self-correcting code or automatic fixes for problems like this? If that's feasible, I’d be interested to know how challenging or costly it might be to implement.

I don’t have a background in computer science, so I appreciate any insights you can share. Thank you for your work on this.

if anyone can build and test, that would be be realy helpful for me. I am not able to test because this issue is not appearing/coming for me. i've made some changes that would probably prevent this error.

apk building steps:

Fork repo https://github.com/anandnet/build-HM and follow steps mentioned in description. or if https://github.com/anandnet/build-HM/actions/runs/11297116437 it is accessible to you, you can download artifacts and test.

Please take a backup of data if you have some playlists or bookmarks.

It seems to be working now, though the song loading seems just slightly slower (not by much). Will continue to use throughout the day and confirm.

Hi, i dont know how this testing process works, but as you probably know, the issue is not only on PC version but also on android, so if you release a temporary apk i can help you testing the app too! Thank you in advance

The android apk is included in the build as I was able to download it. Should be in the Artifacts section.

How to fix this bug?

@Adrielsoto22 , you can test it and let me know, if this works i'll release new version.

[60d74]

sadly, this doesn't work for me, i'm still getting an error.

[jacobot1]

@anandnet I have not had any issues since I installed the new test version you sent out yesterday.

[kr0fff]

The same issue as here

Thank you! I installed the apk ok my redmi and it works fine for me now 😁😉 i'll keep using this version and if It stops working again i'll let you know

[Adrielsoto22]

Ya he encontrado la solución

[Adrielsoto22]

(funciona en Android) primero vas a descargar una aplicación llamada rar, después en estas publicaciones hay una publicación del usuario llamado anandet (el creador de la app) y tiene un apartado que dice pasos para crear el APK pulsa el segundo link y te va a llevar a otra página donde vas a descargar la app ya que descargues el archivo vas a ir a la aplicación rar y abres el archivo en esa aplicación ya que lo abras van a aparecer tres opciones de APK abres la que tiene más megabytes y después lo va a extraer esa aplicación sola el archivo y lo instalas y listo

I solved it for now with VPN on Switzerland

[anandnet]

As per @jacobot1 and @andreatede2002 's confirmation. I've released a new version. Try this one.

[nettuno3]

Perfect!! Works great even without VPN. Thanks

Please try without vpn.

[60d74]

Please try without vpn.

I tried different protocols and locations, but I can't try without because YouTube is blocked in my country.

[nettuno3]

I understand, I worked with VPN in Switzerland. With Windscribe VPN app

Oh, okay. You may try other foss clients but i believe you will face the same problem with vpn. Seems yt has already tracked vpn IPs to prevent the misuse. Perhaps you have already felt the similar issues with the proxy based yt client ie..Piped

[diogopessoa]

With the new update (1.10.2) the bug has been fixed! 👏

[shubhamsutar2]

This issue still exists for many songs. v1.10.31
