and for the video please ?

[jfra170]

and for the video please ?

For that question it doesn't matter on my end
As in, even videos it was playing as of 2 days ago, aren't playing. They just sit there and spin.

1. which version is working for you? you can install old versions without losing data
2. what is the configured YouTube extraction endpoint in Advanced Settings?

1. The.... 5.2 was working. (the latest not a beta)
2. I currently have it on MWEB. I did not consider changing. I will and report back.(Tho TBF I've never changed that before either/and it still worked, but I will, I could see YT jacking that up)

OK! I switched the extractor to WEB Safari. That made it work. So. Whenever I run into this, just switch extractors til it works? I can do that, though I will ask, does this mean MWEB is broken indefinitely? (I've had this issue since the latest beta patch.)

[InfinityLoop1308]

that means sabr never worked for you. unfortunately web_safari's hls will be shutting down by YT in days, so we must handle the sabr issue.

I'll make a debug apk for you to see what happened

oh. That's.... fun. Question. Should I switch to WEB or are they shutting down that route too? Also. I assume the debug version will have, whatever you think went wrong w/sabr adjusted and, basically just use normally, see what happens, see what errors it throws?

install this one and see if you can see any bug report this time, not sure things will be fixed since I haven't receive same report about not playing in beta5, but anyway we'll see it.

you can use any of the 3 , it's just an workaround is temp applied on web_safari, and it will be removed before 5.2.1 release

That does not want to download, I don't know if it's just being silly or that app or whatever. Let me try a different browser, if it doesn't download there, I'll let you know

Now I cannot get any of the extractors to work and also cannot force a bug report. What causes the bug report screen to come up, is there a way to add like a button I can press or something that when it's sitting there and spinning and failing, I can grab logs of what it's doing?

(Running wifi 6, 2 Gbps down and up system by the way. When it loads, it loads nearly instantly where I'm at. So... I'm reasonably certain it's not network.)
