No search results since today

I’ve been using Youtube Mopidy quite happily for a few days, but since today it suddenly can’t find results anymore.

The Mopidy log shows:

I guess something changed on Youtube that requires mopidy-youtube to make some changes? youtube-dl is the latest version, at the moment 2021.4.1, but I believe that is not relevant for just search results.

I debugged my error. The search is not working, because when backend want to search on youtube, first you got a page that google using cookies (“Before you continue to YouTube”). After you agreed this, redirected the search page. This is the reason why bs4api cannot find anything.

I solved this problem with creating Google api key, and enabled api in the mopidy.conf for youtube plugin.

Hi, minimale usable cookie for me is “PREF=hl=en; CONSENT=YES+20210329;” . Certainly you can set any valid date. Searching for “azdwspxlmrhe” work fine on my device, with mopidy-youtube 3.2 and lastest youtube-dl version
