The add-on no longer works #12

Issue: Over the last few days, all the youtube-audio add-ons have stopped working. I assume that Youtube has changed the way it works, but I don't have the technical skills to say more.

Repro steps: Try to play any video, even with multiple reloads

Browser: same issue on LibreWolf 119.0.1-1 and Firefox 121.0 OS: Windows 10

this av1 issue? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-audio_only/reviews/2033710/

user reports it works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-audio_only/reviews/2035311/

My computer doesn't support av1, this extension still works.

Current possible workaround: Change to lower resolution, youtube may stop stream av1 to you.

I don't know if it's due to that, as I haven't changed my hardware or software configuration. Switching to a lower resolution doesn't make any difference, even after changing the Youtube settings to ensure that VP9 is used for low resolution

The issue seems fixed since a few days, as long as you force the page to reload.
