Youtube barely worked anymore (thanks google ...)

[Manukineko]

I saw issue #53 and tried that before submitting that tickets, but it doesn't work.
Youtube video doesn't play.
The workaround is to sometimes disable the Safe Mode and select a resolution manually. Doing so, up to 720p it could work or not, but 1080 play without sound.

The console output is as follows :

I notice that youtube now appends a #sid=0 to a video's URL.

example video : Get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW_PMyQHxYU
Then MotionBox try to get that URL : Get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGmuXX1BZtY&ucbcb=1 with a &ucbcb=1 string append to it.

Platforms like Invidious or Piped have also recent issues with Youtube. :/

Try to update to MotionBox 3.0

Try to update to MotionBox 3.0

I'm already using alpha 3.0.0-1 :D

I've uninstalled, cleaned my user folder to keep only my playlist and reinstalled and more videos are working.
But there still are some that won't launch unless I use 480p or/and deactivate Safe Mode.

Do you need to hit play several times on a given video to have it start ?

[Manukineko]

I tried yeah but, it never starts ... I always have that vlc error

[3unjee]

Hmmm. The video plays fine on my side. Which OS are you on ?

[Manukineko]

I'm on Windows 11.
Well, when I have the issue again, I'll take a video.
