Unable to access "Subscriptions", "Watch Later", "Favorites", but can access other named playlists and play those selections

Open CollinChaffin opened this issue 6 years ago • 10 comments

Something must have changed on the YT backend suddenly I can still navigate and play from any named playlist, but if I select any of the "built-in" options like Subscriptions, even the "Watch Later" playlist, favorites, I get a blank box that says "Error" and the plugin crashes back to Plex menu.

It seems that they have stopped support of the feeds. At least HTTPS requests for feeds which Plex fails to return plain HTML pages instead of JSON. Guess it may be fixed by handling feeds as playlists.

Hmm are you sure? When I try to go to: https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions it does in fact still load, or am I misunderstanding? Also of note which I hadn't even really noticed as I opened this issue, down below in the main menu, all my subscription items DO still load so is that being loaded differently? Yet when I click the main menu item My Subscriptions I get the no entries found error. Same with playlists, I get successful retrieval of my playlists, but within them the only one producing an error is the builtin Watch Later, so is that also because it is a feed item and not being retrieved as an actual playlist item?

I'm happy to help troubleshoot and resolve this as it is still my (and I'm sure many other people's) top number one plugin/channel. TIA!

@CollinChaffin It loads as a web page, while as far as I understand the code, plugin expects to retrieve a JSON content.

Also, method Feed in init.py doesn't log the exception which, if logged, is either "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" or "('can not decode value', u'..."

The error depends on user agent. With default (Video.USER_AGENT) is is 403, with custom (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0) it's "can not decode value".
