Just restart your bot. It should fix it.

[Zythoxic]

Having the same issue and restarted the bot multiple times. Also tried down- and upgrading the package, same issue in all versions.

Was working completely fine yesterday, today it's not working anymore and just giving the n-token error.

[retrouser955]

AFAIK I can't do anything until youtubei.js fixes this as it's an internal error.

@Zythoxic @BhaveshBasrani try using the ANDROID client in the useClient option

player.extractors.register(YoutubeiExtractor, {
   ...otherOptions,
   useClient: "ANDROID"
})

Ignore the error after doing this and see if streaming works as intended

try using the ANDROID client in the useClient option

This didn't work for me sadly

[retrouser955]

@L-uu This is actually my bad. It seems I'm lost in my own code also. The correct syntax is

player.extractors.register(YoutubeiExtractor, {
   ...otherOptions,
   streamOptions: {
      useClient: "ANDROID"
   } 
})

[L-uu]

Tbf I should've probably figured that out myself too lmao, but while still displaying the same error it does play music.

[Zythoxic]

Can confirm using the Android client it does play the music again, despite the error.

[BhaveshBasrani]

Damm its actually a big issue
y does it occur tho?
shld i switch to spotify?

[BhaveshBasrani]

[iTsMaaT]

@BhaveshBasrani You cannot just switch to spotify, as it uses youtube to get the sound, or soundcloud if youtube is disabled

[BhaveshBasrani]

Lavalink then ig

[iTsMaaT]

adding the android client will still log this error, but the bot will work as intented so its not really an issue

[retrouser955]

Lavalink then ig

switching to lavalink is not a fix as they also need to scrape youtube for streaming.

[retrouser955]

ignore this. it should play music

[retrouser955]

I released 1.2.0. This might fix it. Install it via npm install discord-player-youtubei@latest

Edit: Here are the change logs

[retrouser955]

This issue is identified to be fixed in the latest version of discord-player-youtubei

[Zythoxic]

I've updated the youtubei.js package, after that it was fixed.

[retrouser955]

This is happening again as YouTube changed their validation.

[retrouser955]

Identified the issue. Nothing I can do until youtubei.js releases 10.3.0

[retrouser955]

See LuanRT/YouTube.js#713

[retrouser955]

npm i discord-player-youtubei@latest
