Youtubeexplode: GetVideoMediaStreamInfosAsync() seems to be broken

[jungjanos]

Hi Alexey!

I have tried YoutubeExplode 4.7.9 both on Windows desktop as well as on Xamarin. The GetVideoAsync call seems to be working (though this one I only tried on Windows) but GetVideoMediaStreamInfosAsync() seems to be broken. It returns a MediaStreamInfoSet object with empty- [0] - stream arrays for all three types of streams. The "ValidUntil" property seems to be valid though.

Agreed, it stopped working in the last 20 minutes.

Breaking change by YouTube. See also fent/node-ytdl-core#486, TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#2615.

Looking at this line, YouTube has moved adaptive_fmts and url_encoded_fmt_stream_map into playerResponseJson as streamingData.adaptiveFormats and streamingData.formats respectively.

Will look into it as soon as I can

Is this still not working? Can someone give me a video ID?

YouTube has reverted the above change, see TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#2623. I would still recommend supporting streamingData.formats (maybe as a fallback), but the current version should still work :).

@omarroth
It's not the first time they reverted it, YoutubeExplode was using streamingData.formats for almost a year until they went back to url-encoded format.

Closing for now as the issue was resolved on its own.
