Describe the bug Unitl recently I've very happily used SMTube to browse to videos on youtube, on an SBC like an RPI4 it loads much quicker than a browser and it is easy to open videos with VLC.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'http://www.youtube.com/' or 'http://mobile.youtube.com'
  2. trying to login to youtube now leads to 'bad request' or carrying out a search returns 'Invalid Response Received'

Expected behavior Page should load with subscription videos.

Your Enviroment

This error my entirely be due to a change in Youtube.

smtube is designed to display the website tonvid.com. If it works with other sites is just by chance. I'm afraid I can't fix this problem because it actually seems a problem in the qtwebkit library.

Turns out I think this was a bug with Youtube authentification. I cleared cookies and also the cache files to located in ~/.config/smtube and the browsers settings. This seemed to do the trick. Excellent software I really love and would recommend.
