HeliumLift stopped working on YouTube #22

When opening a YouTube video URL, all I'm getting is this:

snap

After a couple of seconds, HeliumLift is redirected to the YouTube homepage.

Also not working with the "Open With" browser extension in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/

@JayBrown YouTube JUST recently discontinued their "TV" interface that HeliumLift used. I'll patch the app and update ASAP.

Any update?

itsthisjustin commented 4 years ago

@JayBrown should have an update live very soon. Working on some overall polish and fixes to make it a bigger update. Sorry for the delay.

I just installed the update from the MAS, and YouTube isn't supported. When I send a YT URL to HeliumLift using the OpenWith Firefox addon, I'm just getting a blank page in the HeliumLift window:

snap

Though it does seem to load it (100%). (Also tested with system-wide AdGuard adblocker disabled.)

When I manually input a YouTube URL in HeliumLift, the YT video page gets loaded, playback works, but fullscreen is not available.

Full screen is probably never going to work but I'm still looking into it (limitation of what full screen means to a browser window)

The Chrome Extension sending should be fixed now

OpenWith now works with HeliumLift. Thank you!

As for running YT videos in full screen in the HeliumLift window, yeah, YouTube tells me that fullscreen is not supported for this browser… so maybe HeliumLift can just spoof the user-agent?
