Unable to retrieve any video's streams

[atomjack]

All of a sudden this morning, any video I try to play results in a Video Playback Error. I did some digging and it looks like the NewPipeExtractor is unable to get the decryption function name. Here's the stack trace:

@ram-on have you ever seen anything like this before, and are you seeing this right now too? Could YouTube have changed something that broke the extractor functionality? Maybe we should post an issue at https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/ ?

[swilde]

Same here. The issue for NewPipeExtractor already exists: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#107

[Grammost]

youtube-dl has the same problem: ytdl-org/youtube-dl#17457
Seems like YouTube has shipped a new obfuscated JS Player.

Ah, it was created after I posted mine. Ok, we'll have to keep an eye on it :)

Same bug here ! it has nothing to do with skytube but the youtube plugin on kodi work good !

[gzsombor]

A fix in newpipeextractor: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#108

[ram-on]

We'll have to wait until the push the changes to Jitpack.
