[funsafe-ptr]

Vanilla, too, I guess.

Vanilla, too, I guess. TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#11803

i see gonna follow up hopefully it's will be done soon

[funsafe-ptr]

It's probably YouTube acting up again.

[asandikci]

I could not reproduce the problem yet. Probably youtube doing smth. I've subscribed to upstream issue. I'll merge if upstream project solves the problem.

There is nothing that I can do. I'm not closing the issue for now because to not forget the problem

[funsafe-ptr]

Yeah, I guess YouTube is doing this in some countries. I can easily bypass this by changing my VPN country.

i know this approach since few days ago but of course YouTube will not let us go away that easily you can watch content with VPN but now there's a error like sign in to confirm that you are not robot 🗿

so my approach is:
pipepipe + sign in + VPN = work

[funsafe-ptr]

Yes, sign in.
Is it possible to add login cookie from PipePipe @asandikci 🙏 ? Restricted videos won’t play unless you sign in.

[GreenMystic]

Yes, sign in. Is it possible to add login cookie from PipePipe @asandikci 🙏 ? Restricted videos won’t play unless you sign in.

or maybe take grayjay.app as references
somehow they able to workaround that sh#tty things without need login even though it's break as well now

i mean we wait till grayjay able to do their magic so we can take their code so we can watch those restricted content without login

[funsafe-ptr]

Yes, YouTube nuked it, not possible now.

I just saw grayjay now. Seems good but has a interesting license... Maybe I can try it in my free time and got some new ideas from it.

I know pipepipe has been implemented youtube login. I do not prefer to use yt login but if this problem couldn't be solved by anyone (possibly newpipe/yt-dlp teams) maybe it would be good to implement this, at least on to extended branch.

But it would not be easy becaus pipepipe is a hard fork and I do not have enough time to merge it without any errors. (also project-laspipebender- is in maintainence mode, see roadmap/project status subject in discussions)

If you want to help PRs are welcome

TL;DR
Waiting for upstream project's solutions to merge with one click, I do not have enough time to implement another thing myself

[asandikci]

There isn't any update on NewPipe side. PipePipe has been solved this problem with changing the parse method but the new parse method is really slow.

[GreenMystic]

turn out pipepipe finaly able to fully fix at 4.1.2 release no random error and loading is much faster

[asandikci]

Looked for changes in PipePipe but couldn't undestand. Sorry. Waiting for NewPipe to merge.
If you are able understand and merge to this fork. PRs are welcome
