Buffering when playing #211

Closed Gythion closed 2 years ago

Gythion commented 2 years ago

Context

Please provide any relevant information about your setup

Expected Behavior

Normally playing without buffering

Current Behavior

Buffering at almost every played video in FHD or HD

Log

t.ly/9ItW

Additional Information

How about? It is already several months that there is this problem. I use the official YT app in FireStick, and no buffering.

arcaine2 commented 2 years ago

Funny enough, i couldn't play any single video yesterday on my desktop machine with Kodi and alpha2, but everything played no problem on Shield TV with Kodi and alpha2. Same API keys in both. Today, everything plays correctly at first attempt on the desktop, no buffering, no single video i had to re-try so far.

probonopd commented 2 years ago

I did not choose yewtu.be randomly for the example. It works via a browser, but fails in the invidious addon.

That particular instance has API access disabled: https://yewtu.be/api/v1/videos/

I am not suggesting that the solution should be to access Invidious API, all I am pointing out is that Invidious seems to have found a way to produce video URLs that apparently don't have the throttling issue. Ideally the same logic that is used in Invidious could be used in this plugin. (My hack above is just a temporary workaround that happens to work well in the meantime.)

Still having the buffering issue with the alpha 2 release on the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MLdehTdNhk

The video URLs for this video from https://vid.puffyan.us/api/v1/videos/7MLdehTdNhk?fields=dashUrl,formatStreams&pretty=1 seem to play well for me.

Here is looks like working solution: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecomment-942387724 Sourcecode may be interesting, but program shows what exactly it sends to google to obtain proper MPD file with non broken links. Programmers, where I can replace all required 2 parameters?

Thank you! I had read that when the original invidio.us shut down(1) a year ago, but I could not remember which instance it was. And here(2) is a better table of the instances and their health status. (1) https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source (2) https://api.invidious.io/

michel130 commented 2 years ago

I install the alpha 2 on my Kodi Lelei on android TV. I was woking ones, the second youtube movie stopped every couple of sec and was starting to buffer.

klebkuchen commented 2 years ago

Here is a workaround that works reliably around this issue (while waiting for a proper fix): ... but it seems it is golden.

@probonopd You Sir, are a wizard!! Thank you!! Finally a workaround that fixed the issue for me on my RPi3 with LibreELEC. :100:

pitsi commented 2 years ago

Question about the patch that is mentioned above. As seen, it patches youtube.py of script.module.youtube.dl. But kodi's addon does not use that in order to work, so how does it benefit from that patch? I don't even have it installed! Moreover, script.module.youtube.dl was last updated on March, 6+ months ago and 3+ months before the last release of youtube-dl which was in early June.

axvpast commented 2 years ago

@pitsi thanks, I think that plugin use youtube-dl and be little bit confused, because my fix does not help. Do you know where I can change "WEB" to "ANDROID" in plugin.video.youtube? Query for MPD, after that, should looks like:

POST /youtubei/v1/player HTTP/1.1
Host: www.youtube.com
X-Goog-Api-Key: A.................8

{"context":{"client":{"clientName":"ANDROID","clientVersion":"16.05"}},"videoId":"Vp9I_m6znMM"}
pitsi commented 2 years ago

Sorry, I have no idea. As I have said in various issue reports, my coding skills are close to 0. If I knew anything, I would have ported yt-dlp's fix for the throttling since day 1.

Does anyone else notice the change in the right click > play (select quality) popup that I mentioned above? Or is it just me?

RNavega commented 2 years ago

@axvpast you can grab the files that were updated by pull-request 216, here (right-click, Save As):

They're changed in that way already.
To actually use them, you can download the zip for 6.8.18~alpha2, extract it to some place, replace those two files in the extracted files, zip it all back as it was and then install from zip in Kodi.

axvpast commented 2 years ago

@RNavega thanks a lot. Just get full file video_info.py from pull request and paste into Kodi. Looks like 100% works! According links to video streams from MPD file c=ANDROID, field aitems is missing, as expected.

kuene commented 2 years ago

@RNavega This works on osmc. Thanks!

develroo commented 2 years ago

@RNavega This works on osmc. Thanks!

~~Does it? I have 6.8.18-alpha2 installed (had to fix the bogus dependency of xmbc-python-2.2.0, OSMC uses 3.0.0) but I am still getting some buffering. It is not as bad as it was and I can pause it for 30 seconds and it will usually continue. But it is by no means fixed I feel. ~~

EDIT: Oh wait I see I have to patch manually. Sorry. Will do that now.

pitsi commented 2 years ago

There is a python3 build available, it is the one that has the -matrix suffix in its name, because python3 is a matrix-only feature and osmc uses kodi 19.

develroo commented 2 years ago

Oh, right. I did wonder. The one official from kodi is not been update, and so I did not know it was a separate build.

Thanks.

THIS seems to work. Just installed and played a couple of videos that lagged and buffered before, they now run smoothly.

The one from the official repo will be updated when the dev thinks 6.8.18 is good enough to be released as stable.

develroo commented 2 years ago

OK well FWIW It seem with the two above patched files it is working well for me. A few seconds to get Title metadata and cache but then the video start up right are no buffering.

So thanks to @RNavega for his help. Works great on a Vero4K+

Just done the above on my pi 3a osmc kodi 18.9 and it seem to have fixed the buffering. Also I don't have "mpeg-dash" enabled which, was my understanding, needed in order for this to work. Many thanks. Just reporting.

agolks commented 2 years ago

great! works on pi4, libreelec 9.2.8, kodi 18.9, too! thanks!

RNavega commented 2 years ago

Also I don't have "mpeg-dash" enabled which, was my understanding, needed in order for this to work.

@smutax it should work with adaptive formats (what you get when Mpeg DASH is on) as well as the standard formats when it's off.
Also useful to know, nowadays YT only has 360p and 720p as standard formats (edit: most of the time, that is). Any other sizes (either bigger or smaller) are only available if you turn on DASH in the settings. For instance, 1440p, 1080p, 240p.

The one from the official repo will be updated when the dev thinks 6.8.18 is good enough to be released as stable.

@pitsi that's right. The problem right now is that age-restricted videos can't be played with this experimental patch, because it uses a new API that's obscure about how to use the login credentials.

Yep can confirm live streams don't work. I chose a bunch of random live streams and they all failed.. I think this part of the log file is relevant to the bug?

frankrbrts622 commented 2 years ago

Thanks! The patch fixes the problem for me (Kodi, 18.9 on 2012 macMini). This had to be a Youtube problem, as all downloaders (YT-DL, JDownloader) weren't working this week, only YT-DLP worked as usual). It was clear that the files were buffering at 40K instead of the normal speed when I looked at the info screen while trying to watch a video. Sometimes the buffer would get to 10-20% of the video file, then it would run OK until the slow speed caught up to where the video was actually playing, then it would stall. Again - many, many thanks!

spirgiuz commented 2 years ago

@Anonymous07070707 @LeJimster you can fix the livestream playback problem by removing the comma at the end of line 658 in video_info.py: basically change headers['Referer'] = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s' % video_id, to headers['Referer'] = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s' % video_id

@RNavega I' m so thankful, I can look Youtube since month without the buffering issue. How fast the video now starts!!! My system RPI 3b with libreelec and patched (like you mentioned) 6.8.18~alpha2 youtube plugin.

Also, what is this garbage of an api?! I tried playing this video, a 12 HOUR long video which oddly has 4 hours of duration inside kodi, and EVERYTIME it started from 3:59:45 or so and played for 15 seconds to its end! Other videos from the same channel do not start at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIwLyAOSblE

@pitsi I dont have a hand in this code, but I would assume this is an attempt to mimic some Galaxy S9 smartphone because Google is playing cat and mouse to block playback on "unapproved" apps.

LeJimster commented 2 years ago

@pitsi after installing 6.8.18a2 did you download the 2 new files video_info.py & xbmc_items.py? (the download links are quoted in the post before yours). You need to edit that video_info.py.

pitsi commented 2 years ago

That explains a lot thank you. No, I have not made any changes after installing 6.8.18a2 (the days it was released). I will wait for a new release with the new code.

Can someone that has the files already patched check the video I mentioned above?

LeJimster commented 2 years ago

@pitsi yeah the same behaviour you've experienced happens when I try to play the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIwLyAOSblE It claims the video is only 3:59:59 long and starts at 3:59:45, plays for 15s and then stops. I tried 3 or 4 videos from that channel and they all play fine however.

I notice it still detects the video as a live stream even though the stream finished hours ago. I noticed the similar/same behaviour on a few live streams that are actually running right now, except every few seconds the play time is reset to 3:59:45 so it continues playing as long as the stream is running. Another live stream I tried started at 0 but said it was 4 hours long.

UPDATE: That video is now being detected as VOD rather than live and it correctly plays now as kedarz points out below.

ilikenwf commented 2 years ago

I just installed alpha2 and it seems to have solved the issue for me.

kedarz commented 2 years ago

Patched 6.8.18a2 seems that the subtitles do not work. It means, no display subtitles. Does anyone have this issue ? @pitsi your film works normaly, time 11:55:00 (720 mpd) Other films on this chanell work too

admansymphonyck commented 2 years ago

I just installed alpha2 and it seems to have solved the issue for me.

For me too, but after several videos the problem returned. I solved it after deleting the cache in addon_data, for now it's ok

arcaine2 commented 2 years ago

This seems random, on alpha2 at least. Everything worked fine for me for the past 2 days on the desktop, not a single buffered video. Today, every video is loading slowly and buffering. Alpha2 on my Shield TV still plays everything correctly.

No problem with "play with invidious" patch from a couple posts earlier, this works each time.

superdesi commented 2 years ago

To all those who helped resolve this issue.....a BIG THANKS! Now.....every video loads 3 times as fast and the buffering is gone. In the past few days.....the add-on was unusable since every single video buffered for ages. Stopping and starting the video has no effect and didn't help like it used to a month ago. Thanks guys!

Don't ask me about script.module.urllib3. It is a dependency of neither plugin.video.youtube, nor inputstream.adaptive.

Huge Thanks to the Folks who worked on the FIX so fast, and made the fix speed up the initial loading of video. YouTube add-on just got awesome after the patch. The buffering is completely eradicated i feel. Never found a buffering pause after the patch. I'm on RPI 3B+ and the video starts to play within 4 seconds after i press - play on kodi, which is a huge speed up since it took 10secs previously.
