Youtube, DailyMotion & SoundCloud not working on MotionMonkey & MotionBox

MotionBox
#1

Up until just yesterday videos were working fine (can only vouch for youtube). As of this morning EST I can confirm that no youtube videos are working in both apps MotionMonkey as well as MotionBox (both mobile and desktop versions).

The console error I’m getting is:
WControllerNetwork: Retrying connection

Retrying

WControllerNetwork: Retrying connection

Retrying

WControllerNetwork: Retrying connection

I have tested a handful of videos in DailyMotion with the same results, as well as SoundCloud with audio. I have tried selecting Audio-only in desktop with the same results.

I can confirm torrents as well as vimeo are still functioning as expected.

It should be noted FreeTube is still running, however several instances of invidious are not (not sure if these could even be related to a degree, but thought it was worth mentioning).

Can help troubleshoot/debug just let me know what I can do.

Also worth mentioning, I have updated my VLC to the latest version in case that could have been the culprit but no luck.

Thanks for all the effort that you do and for these wonderful products which I use daily!

Greetings @boii, I can confirm it should be fixed as of right now.

Youtube made a change with their get_video_info URL, now requiring the html5=1 parameter to return anything.

That’s good to hear, I’m glad it’s useful to you.

SoundCloud playback should be fixed too.

Soundcloud and Daily motion still aren’t working for me (I mostly use youtube and bittorrent fortunately and those are indeed working). But thought I should mention. Vimeo is also confirmed working.

I posted logs but it got bounced due to too many links, here’s what I saw relevant in the logs for soundcloud

[ANY SOUND CLOUD LINK, omitted so as to not hit the post link limit] - server replied: Not Found

and for daily motion:
Get [ANY DAILY MOTION VIDEO LINK, omitted so as to not hit the post link limit]

(but it’s not a big deal for me)

Yeah, SoundCloud keep changing their HTML API and it’s a bit complicated to follow through. I try focussing on what matters to people. So if nobody complains that’s not high in my priority list.
