[YouTube] Workaround again 403 HTTP issues on the ANDROID InnerTube client and fix stream tests #1084
Conversation
…sing new player parameters These parameters are the only ones currently known to bypass 403 HTTP issues related to failure of passing Android client integrity checks, as the ones of stories (and the base of the shorts ones) do not work anymore, which may be related to end of this format on the service.
- Fix testCheckAudioStreams test of YoutubeStreamExtractorDefaultTest.AudioTrackLanguage test class, by updating the excepted audio track name test to use the updated English audio track name (audio track type info has been added on the video tested); - Fix YoutubeStreamExtractorDefaultTest.PublicBroadcasterTest test class by using a different video from a French and German public broadcast channel, as the channel Dinge Erklärt – Kurzgesagt is not affiliated with a public broadcast channel anymore; - Fix YoutubeStreamExtractorLivestreamTest test class, by updating the excepted name of the livestream to the current one.

Is there a samp apk while waiting for checks? Also if this is A/B related how would you suggest testing this. I've been getting the errors lately but I also have 2 other older previous debug Newpipe versions (for various issues). When the 403 pops up I can share the video to one of those and generally the issue doesn't appear. Cheers |
YouTube appears to be A/B testing some new integrity checks. Adding the parameter "CgIQBg" to InnerTube player requests appears to workaround the problem See TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1084
Works great, my question is how/where was the new param setting ("CgIQBg") found? I could not find any list of valid param settings in the YouTube API documentation. Basically if at some point CgIQBg stops working, where do we look for another valid param value? |

visitorDataon which the 403 HTTP issues was present before and they didn't occur anymore with the new parameters.This PR works around again 403 HTTP issues when getting streams from the
ANDROIDInnerTube client, by using new parameters to bypass this client's integrity checks.These parameters are the only ones currently known to bypass the 403 HTTP issues, as the ones of stories (and the base of the shorts ones) do not work anymore (currently A/B tested), which may be related to end of this format on the service.
I also fixed stream test failures, which were not present in the existing mocks but were present when I updated stream mocks (required due to the player parameters update of the
ANDROIDclient).I had especially to change the video used in
YoutubeStreamExtractorDefaultTest.PublicBroadcasterTesttest class, as the channel Dinge Erklärt – Kurzgesagt is not affiliated with a public broadcast channel anymore.I chose the 3 million subscribers thanks video from ARTE French YouTube channel (
cJ9to6EmElQ) as a replacement.Fixes TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#10174.
