So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
It has never worked for me. Always within minutes of an update or install, videos stop buffering and the whole thing is bricked.
I regularly forget to update it for 8 months and it has never broken for me
My last phone I installed it on, I never updated the app. And that was like a good 18 months.
Yeah I don’t update ReVanced either until the google puts up a nag screen complaining about ending support for that particular version. Never had a problem.
Well I watched a couple videos, went to pick up some meds, and watched a few shorts in the drive thru.
But I am on Android and followed the instructions closely just a few days ago.
