[1275] Some YouTube videos not loading (again)
complete
nil
Starting this week, some videos are failing to play for a similar reason to last time.
./yt-dlp.exe --no-check-certificate --no-cache-dir --rm-cache-dir -f "mp4[height<=?720][height>=?64][width>=?64]/best[height<=?720][height>=?64][width>=?64]" --get-url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gumADVpaVY
WARNING: [youtube] 1gumADVpaVY: nsig extraction failed: You may experience throttling for some formats

yt-dlp is successful and VRChat incorrectly determines that an error occurred.
Known bad videos:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gumADVpaVY

However, the problem seems to sometimes occur temporarily for other videos. I don't know if these listed videos sometimes work and sometimes don't but they didn't work earlier in VRChat and they still exhibit the same behavior now.

PSA: For anyone encountering youtube video issues today (Feb 16th), there is yet another fix in ytdlp that should be deployed very soon (+4 hours as of this post). After that point VRC can update the provided version. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6253

techanon: In general, support staff will not notice when people comment about new problems on existing, closed tickets. When there is a new problem we need to raise a new ticket.

nil: the comment wasn't for support staff. it was for anyone searching the canny for youtube issues. ergo the PSA prefix.

It seems, per your comment and our internal testing, that this issue has been resolved. Please let me know if that is not the case!

The new yt-dlp.exe with sha256 b069218b8c5589abdce629c9faf782c534e4c40270676d01e45de6543ab38eb8 does not generate the warning for these videos and they can be played successfully in VRChat. 👍

It looks like upstream yt-dlp has released a fixed for the cause of the warning today. If VRChat updates yt-dlp it should get things working again. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6131
