YouTube player doesn't work, local file does

[UplinkPhobia]

On launching a game, an error pops up in the console and no audio/video from YouTube can be played.
Local files seem to work fine.
The bug occurs on linux (manjaro), the windows version of the game seems to work fine (even on the same linux-hosted server, the windows client works but the linux one doesn't play the videos).
Happens even on a minimal version of the game with only this mod and dependencies.
No other error messages related to the mod are in the log.

Also, I noticed the CFG file is empty?

Well @UplinkPhobia @Stonedprophet, I have some bad news.

After looking into this I've discovered that YouTube is really cracking down on Bots and changing their API massively.

See Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode#794 and https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode/releases/tag/6.4.2

YoutubeExplode 6.4.2 release notes state that "Due to the recent changes by YouTube, muxed streams are no longer provided. " - This mod only uses muxed streams. Even my website, https://dlp.lol/ is broken right now - and it uses an entirely different library called youtube-dlp.

I'm afraid to say it but this may be the end of Youtube integration in OdinOnDemand. Unless I somehow add cookie support, but apparently according to ytdl-org/youtube-dl#32905 (comment) cookies probably won't work for long if they even work at all. So not sure what direction to go here.

I still use youtube-dlp locally and it seems to work fine, so I might be able to switch over to that... but if muxed streams are gone entirely then we're in for a bad show.

That's all I really have for you folks right now. Sorry for the bad news, I wish Youtube would be more supportive, but ultimately they do not and never have wanted to support services like third party extractors so I am doubtful for the future.
