Seriously, YouTube?
(lemmy.ml)
Use a UA switcher. It's just YouTube being overreaching.
I've actually recently decided to start finding more peer tube channels to watch and slowly move away from YouTube. Eventually, Google is going to restrict YouTube to those who have a Google account and I will not be losing all my content because suddenly I can't use their service anymore.
Absolutely agree! Who knows how long some of the content is actually going to last on YouTube before they start burning the old stuff.
Anyone know of a way to bulk download off a YouTube playlist?
Is youtube-dl on linux still a thing?
yt-dlp
OP lost access to YT music, not normally YouTube. It's confusing.
I saw nothing in the post or comments to suggest that. Am I missing something?
The giant YT Music logo at the top of the image wasn't glaringly obvious to you?
I'm blind. I didn't even notice the image until you pointed out that it was there.
Oh my bad. In that case it's OP's fault for not utilizing the alt text feature appropriately.
as an alternative, I recommend Yewtube (not to be confused with the Invidious instance with the same name):
https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube
It's a TUI application that streams the music to mplayer, VLC or MPV depending on your preference. It can also handle playlists/albums.
wouoejt recommend librewolf for non privacy usecases like logging into google
Zen browser is great if you're looking for a non vanilla Firefox option.
This is not occurring on my Zen. Could be a bug of your Firefox fork?
I get those a lot from other sites (weirdly YT Music doesn't on FF or Zen) like Amazon Music (even when just trying to buy a digital track or album). Weirdly the sites will act normal for a moment or two before removed about my browser not being "updated" or otherwise Chromium-based. We managed to break the internet being coded for IE, but allowed Google to openly make the new IE. Safari seems to work for some of the sites, but that is just because Apple made all the iOS browsers use Webkit with custom skins on one of the top selling phone/tablet options.
Wait... I heard that librewolf wasn't getting proper updates anymore? Did it get picked up again or am I missing something?
