The 360 video application no longer works

[ktfk94]

After a few months of using the UnityYoutubePlayer without a problem, now is not working. The aplication gets 360 videos from youtube and plays it. It is done in Unity with Android.

From a 360 video of youtube it generates a URL like this one: https://rr2---sn-h5nhv8pa-cjos.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1643478019&ei=oyf1YcXvI8jSxwKixLWQCw&ip=93.176.147.217&id=o-AP9hazQEszpIWe6LZfAlWHtFMtwEpXZMYR5h4POEJP0U&itag=272&aitags=133%2C134%2C135%2C136%2C137%2C160%2C242%2C243%2C244%2C247%2C248%2C271%2C272%2C278%2C313&source=youtube&requiressl=yes&mh=zQ&mm=31%2C29&mn=sn-h5nhv8pa-cjos%2Csn-h5q7knee&ms=au%2Crdu&mv=m&mvi=2&pl=21&initcwndbps=1845000&vprv=1&mime=video%2Fwebm&ns=hiQttHJWQzg6__po0H-4_TUG&gir=yes&clen=88669427&dur=61.327&lmt=1623085628288900&mt=1643455985&fvip=2&keepalive=yes&fexp=24001373%2C24007246&c=WEB&txp=6211222&n=TQyeMv-qYvVTIrnjtJU&sparams=expire%2Cei%2Cip%2Cid%2Caitags%2Csource%2Crequiressl%2Cvprv%2Cmime%2Cns%2Cgir%2Cclen%2Cdur%2Clmt&sig=AOq0QJ8wRQIhAMo08O5Ybmctr3vNHTd_V340ZcRfNUaLRtHyQdQZMzzoAiACtKo7Qpda70fZowXXl8un0OdcULIrrZL638xwbMAVdw%3D%3D&lsparams=mh%2Cmm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cmvi%2Cpl%2Cinitcwndbps&lsig=AG3C_xAwRQIgcP2q_NYtdUyOUunyJOXrB-5iOKx41LIoqNaIy6wOuzACIQCZgT-dNe6LKxetipDEOe-FD7cAu9pgs68-x_W-vR9RVg%3D%3D

It shows this error: WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004004

If I use this URL in my google chrome it works but now it doesn't work anymore when I use it in a videoPlayer. What have changed and what can I do to fix this problem?

The version used when all was working was 1.4.

Thank you very much!

Changed the version to 2020.3.15f2 and still gets the same error

Yeah, tricky. We used to feed youtube-dl an empty user-agent, and set the video to about 1080p, and that roughly works. This is a risk with using unofficial youtube stuff, it can break anytime.

Released v2.0.1, which should fix 360 (at least the 360 demo scene works) The audio still does not work.

If this fixes the issue, feel free to close!

JsonReaderException: Additional text encountered after finished reading JSON content: y. Path '', line 3, position 0.

I can't seem to reproduce the error, but I suspect that this happens because while yt-dlp returned a valid json, maybe it printed a warning or an error to the stderr stream. The package concatenates stdout and stderr before json parsing, which I realize now that it does not make sense.

If you can reproduce this issue consistently, please check if the fix #97 does the job or not.

all right thanks a lot, ill test out some other stuff and follow your recommendation

As of right now, 360 seems to work. Please feel free to comment/reopen or create a new issue if this is not the case
