Scrobbles always all YouTube videos on new experimental design

See original GitHub issue

Even though I restricted scrobbling on YouTube only for the music category, every video is attempted to be scrobbled with the new experimental design (with night mode).

Expected Behavior

Attempted scrobbling only of music videos, independent from the design.

Current Behavior

Even though YouTube scrobbling is only allowed for music videos, it tries to scrobble all videos with the new YouTube design enabled.

Possible Solution

Workaround: disable scrobbling or new design

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. enable new YouTube design:
    1.1. go to youtube.com and open Chrome console (F12 and change to console tab) 1.2. enter following code, hit enter and reload: var cookieDate = new Date(); cookieDate.setFullYear(cookieDate.getFullYear( ) + 1); document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE; expires=" + cookieDate.toGMTString( ) + "; path=/";
  2. you can also change to night mode in the top right menu
  3. set Last.fm Scrobbler settings: x Use desktop notifications x Unrecognized song notifications x Use autocorrect (global) x Force song recognition x Disable Google Analytics

x Scrobble only Music category

Context

Using the new YouTube design, which will probably be rolled out over the next months.

The category name is not accessible to connectors until the video description is expanded.

I’ll try to look into that.
