[dsg-sudo]

I get this error pretty much in each click.

Me too indeed, worth to note that this only happens when trying to watch a video. Browsing works just fine

the same happens for me:

Found a temporary (maybe) solution.

What's causing the error is that by default, the app is trying to use the "android" api configuration from the innertube configurations. And from the looks of it, appears to not work anymore. The "web" one though still works. Locate watch.py and change this from "android" to "web" and should work now.

    # gevent.spawn(fetch_player_response, 'android', video_id) <---- Change this
    gevent.spawn(fetch_player_response, 'web', video_id)

Though after some quick test, the video performance is worse.

Nevermind, found a better solution.

It appears that the android innertube configuration from this repo is out of date compared to yt-dlp. I changed it to this (combined some from this repo and theirs):

    'android': {
        'INNERTUBE_API_KEY': 'AIzaSyA8eiZmM1FaDVjRy-df2KTyQ_vz_yYM39w',
        'INNERTUBE_CONTEXT': {
            'client': {
                'hl': 'en',
                'gl': 'US',
                'clientName': 'ANDROID',
                'clientVersion': '18.11.34',
                'androidSdkVersion': 30,
                'osName': 'Android',
                'osVersion': '12',
                'userAgent': 'com.google.android.youtube/18.11.34 (Linux; U; Android 12) gzip'
            }
        },
        'INNERTUBE_CONTEXT_CLIENT_NAME': 3,
        'REQUIRE_JS_PLAYER': False
    },

And it works fine, and video performance is good.

Go to the youtube-local directory and then look for youtube folder in there you should find util.py, the code where the change is needed is in there :)
