A lot of android apps made using YouTube music api stopped working. Like vi music, ri music , innertune is no longer working. Google is trying their best to stop them. But you can still use them if you log in with your Google account.

Not really "doing their best" if they're still usable. Would be pretty simple for them to stop others from being to use it.

Their best simply wasn't good enough.

Didn't know YouTube Music had an API.

Where is it? Can you link the documentation?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That's the neat part: you reverse engineer it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you have to reverse engineer an API you're effectively using a private undocumented unsupported API. Why would you be surprised that a private implementation has changed without notice?

This basic programming.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Idk if it surprises anyone, really. Besides, given those apps are trying to eat yt music's lunch, it was more or less a matter of google considering them popular enough to take actively hostile measures... So, unsustainable in the long term, I guess.

Lol, true definition of "killed by the unknown"

Stupid fucks

Oh, thats why RiMusic stopped working for me 3 days ago... Now I have to find an alternative. Any recommendations?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can still use them if you log in . can't remember if you can log in rimusic. But innertune has. Or you can try spotube for Spotify. Or go revanced

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I tried spotube few months ago and it sounds worse for some reason and thats as bad as it can gets for a music player. And revanced is closed source with patches... something sketchy...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I know but there is a thing called harmony music https://github.com/anandnet/Harmony-Music It uses piped api. You can use it is you trust . i personally don't use these piped api apps. For now I stopped listening music. I am not creating any Google account

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yay. I just tried it and it works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks, Harmony Music looks great for me!

Vimusic has been abandoned for like 2 years already. As for the others, there were issues for a quite while; besides, it's not the 1st time yt changing some crap broke them. IMO, it's about the right time to go navidrome + headphones + whatever provides recommendations (if you need those)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah I've been having issues with innertune and have been using ytm revanced now. The big issue for me is whether or not my innertune history will be merged once I login. I fear it won't and so haven't signed in at all.

Edit: I said fuck it and logged in. All worked out fine.

Newpipe worked for me just now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Newpipe doesn't use any api

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Newpipe serves you Embedded Youtube Videos
