YouTube Player not working anymore

Feedback Bugs
1

Recently youtube has made some changes and it is now necessary to pass http referrer,

This change has affected the kodular current YouTube player because by default they pass “https://www.youtube.com” or null which is not acceptable now. We have to pass package name with https:// or http://

I kindly request @Diego to take a look into this matter and publish the update within few days, it is crucial for me as my inbox is flooded with user complaints

Whst about sharing with the community? Just start a new thread in category Extensions and add a short documentation.

Hello. I was experiencing this issue with my app, and it resolved itself without the need for an update.

Do you think I should release a new version? Or should I just leave it like this since it’s working again?

10

What do you mean by

Did you create extension? Or ?

11

Better to build an alternative as a backup, publish it as soon as the error appears again

I don’t believe anything. It’s just that the problem I had with the YouTube player fixed itself, but I didn’t know why.

We are aiming to make a major release this weekend, which will include a rework to YouTube Player. It removes a legacy library (v9) and upgrades directly to v13.

Hi @Diego

The issue is not fixed even in the v13, may be you should provide an option to set the origin (we are required to use our app package name),

please take a look here:

  1. Fails to play video - referer needs to be set to app id · Issue #1252 · PierfrancescoSoffritti/android-youtube-player · GitHub
  2. error code 15 while playing video · Issue #1263 · PierfrancescoSoffritti/android-youtube-player · GitHub

issue ss:

A video player interface displays an error message indicating that the video is unavailable with error code 15. (Captioned by AI)

This issue is very weird, may be YouTube sometimes enforce the missing origin error and then reverse it after few hours, currently this error is appearing, but may be when you test it, it works for you

Also, none of these blocks are working, same error in all these blocks

Also in my opinion, we should not change the UI of the player, like the youtube button as it doesn’t comply with youtube terms

Hey, I exported the APK of my project that uses the YouTube player, and now it’s working fine. I no longer see this error. Obviously, I haven’t been able to update due to the current issue with read permissions in Kodular. But the app on the Play Store still has the problem.

It’s even working for me now, weird!!

As i mentioned here
