Mopidy Youtube

My error code is below. I am having trouble playing Youtube videos as it says This video is unavailable. However if I go into my browser on my PC it is not region restricted or anything. Youtube-Dl is the latest version.

Edit: I have tried different backends but still the same problem. I have tried both with api enabled and disabled and still nothing. My configuration is below:

enabled = true
youtube_api_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
threads_max = 16
search_results = 15
playlist_max_videos = 20
api_enabled = false

But in this case, Mopidy-Youtube always comes from pip, so it can specify a requirement which, if not met by APT etc, will always be downloaded.

That’s not necessarily true. Mopidy-Youtube is packaged in AUR for instance. Or one could create a deb package for it oneself.

I guess the bit I’m not 100% sure about is that if there’s an old version from APT and a new version from pip both installed and the program specifies a dependency on the new version, will the newer version always be actually used?

I’m not sure, it probably depends on where the package manager installs the packages etc. Given that OP had an issue with this, the newer version is probably not always used though.

Yeah, I’m not sure how that conflict sorts itself out. The issue is that the older the youtube-dl version, the more likely that it will cause a difficult-to-track-down problem playing particular clips.

Then maybe you should add a runtime requirement on the required version. I don’t think this should be naively set to the latest version though, as that might be impractical for the users.

@artamudo I think you mean ‘same symptoms’ - once we can work out the problem that is causing them, absolutely I’m gonna fix it.

Can you tell me a bit more about your experience? Does the extension ever work? Can you give examples of tracks that do play and ones that don’t play? Does it happen immediately after you start mopidy or does it take some time before it starts happening? Do tracks that fail always fail or only sometimes?

The extension works for me - to fix the problem, I need to reproduce the symptoms you are experiencing, which means I need to understand when the occur. That can only happen with your help.
