Playback Failed

[lamp5]

Hi. I want to report that app not working. After select my google account, nothing shown in tabs, after search anything, when i want to start playing video, only message shown "Playback Failed". It will be great to fix this errors.
Best regards

Hi still the same issue it says video playback failed . Also could you not remove video thumbnail and use Spotify api to get album covers

[smedic]

Why would I do that?
You are free to add that and make PR.

Issue with playback is related to a small library that I use for extracting RTSP link from YT page (with video id). That's the way how I get URLs for playback.

This is an open source project, so please fill to contribute. It's not a production ready application tested on wide range of devices.
I tested on S7 and S8 and it works good. On Huawei P9 Lite I have seen some playback failures.
If you have issue, leave more information about device and Android version, so maybe I/someone could fix that in the future.

I don't understand what exactly you mean with the popup window.
And I don't see any clear correlation between music videos and the videos that have playback issues with this app.

@smedic do you have any ideas on how to fix this?
Could you describe how you fixed it last time, perhaps someone of us could could possibly handle it, if you are too busy at the moment.

@harut2005 @WormyGels I use a library for extracting RTSP link from youtube page
https://github.com/HaarigerHarald/android-youtubeExtractor
As you can see, YouTube constantly changes things so that app is not capable of extracting links from YT page. I must check what changes developer has added, and update the library.

You know already that YT forbids logic that I used here, so they change stuff to disable workarounds like this. I ll take a look these days, I promise.

Thanks for a constructive chat, I am glad you find this usable :)

Hi,
I am a beginner in the field of development, I tried your project and it is something worth of a gem.
But as others have mentioned above, I am also facing the same issue.
I just want to ask a silly question and that is
"Is it possible to feed the raw URL to mediaplayer as data source instead of getting URL in two chunks i.e a standard https://youtube.com/blahblahblah and video id separately?"
By the way thanks for the project.
