0.25.2⚠️ Important fixes ⚠️
[YouTube] Fixed the recent issue where videos would abort playing because of HTTP 403 errors
https://github.com/Tea…ipeExtractor/pull/1084
Some users reported player crashes or black screen on some devices, especially Android TVs. In some cases this was caused by media tunneling not being properly implemented by the manufacturer.
- Such feature now is disabled by default on more known unsupported devices! #10122
- In case you still experience similar issues, try to manually disable media tunneling from Settings -> Video and audio -> ExoPlayer settings -> Disable media tunneling, and report to us if your device needs to be blacklisted automatically. You may want to try the other ExoPlayer settings switches, too.
⚠️ Known issues/regressions which are not fixed with this update ⚠️
DO NOT OPEN NEW ISSUES FOR THEM BUT FOLLOW THE LINKED ONES INSTEAD!
[YouTube] No streams are returned in some playlists: YouTube returns an unsupported UI by the extractor when there are only shorts in a playlists: see
https://github.com/Tea…eExtractor/issues/1077 more details.
Player notification actions set from app player notification settings are not used on Android 13 and above: this is related to targeting Android 13/API 33 or higher: apps cannot completely personalize media notifications: see #9764 for more details.
