Apps I am trying to fix the youtube android auto app

Squery · Aug 23, 2023

So from i've seen, the previous fix used an old version of yt-dlp

r/assettocorsa - I am trying to fix the youtube android auto app

Which returns 'failed to stream video'
So i updated it to the latest version

And it returns this error on the screen
" Failed to get video URL : Not Autorized URL : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2023.07.06/yt-dlp.exe "

Any ideas of why this happens?
The whole code is available here : https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/youtube-android-auto-fix.59930/ (i am not the author of the previous fix)
I think it is due to recent youtube api change, i'll update this post as soon as i find a workaround and i'd love some help!

It might also be a problem on CSP's end with it whitelisting 'exe' file downloads for security reasons. Manual installing the file can avoid that issue.

The thing is, i don't get why the old version is whitelisted and not the new one, but i'll try to use the file locally with the file:// protocol
Edit: You were right it has something to do with whitelisting, using the latest exe with file:// protocol, we get a new error, imma google this and observe the player in the lua file and update if i find something useful

Ok so i'm now sure it's due to API changes, so to sum up:
The old program tried to found the raw video file url of the youtube video et then stream it on the screen, the thing is now, when it loads the url

It's empty, so updating to a newer version of youtube dl might work, but the exe is not whitelisted to it's not rly possible
