Black screen after Shorts #196

Open jimbattun opened 1 month ago

jimbattun commented 1 month ago

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the 'Run Shorts' option (I access Shorts from the Video Game tab).
  2. Click on 'Disconnect' (or don't click at all)).
  3. All videos, including ads and shorts, display a black screen, but the sound continues to play.
  4. To fix this issue, you need to reload the YouTube app on Apple TV.

System Information: OS: Docker running on Ubuntu. Devices: Apple TV and Nintendo Switch.

Let me know if you need any more adjustments!

Quick update: I tested it, and the problem turned out to be more widespread - you'll get a black screen even if you connect your smartphone(android/iOS) to the TV and run Shorts.

Yes came here about to report.

I'm on Sony x90l exact same issue

It looks like YouTube has enabled the feature flag that allows a TV to stay connected to a "remote" while playing shorts, but it appears to be broken. At this point, there's nothing I can do to fix it. We'll just have to wait for YouTube to fix the issue. Thanks for reporting the issue!

Can this be fixed by reverting to older version of YouTube?

Can this be fixed by reverting to older version of YouTube?

Unfortunately as far as I know, the TV version of YouTube just loads a web view of youtube.com/tv and thus it's not possible to revert to an older version. Please do let me know if you find some way to make it work

After further inspection, it appears that it's a CORS issue on YouTube's side. When they get it fixed, shorts will work just fine with iSponsorBlockTV

YouTube fix it

dinjojo commented 1 month ago

Thanks it seems working now

I had to disable the blocker for this but it seems to be fixed now.

But I'm also trying to look into whether there is a way not to play the short as a video (keep the better ui imo) (make this configurable) but reconnect after the short. Does anyone maybe know a way to do this?

Edit: I found a little workaround for YouTube on TV: Click and hold on a short, then click "Play" or the first option. This will play the short in the nice UI without disturbing SponsorBlock.
