So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
Honestly surprised YouTube hasn’t just required DRM yet
Well… the only available option to them for DRM that will work on all devices is Widevine L3 which is entirely bypassable. Spend a few hours on the net and you can figure out how to do it too.
Could you briefly summarize what’s needed to make it happen? Not asking for a step-by-step just very rough overview
There are a lot of thorough guides on vidhelp along with dumped L3 keys.
You’re basically just saying go get a guide like you could have just not said anything LOL
Not sure what’s up with the self-entitlement but I got shocking news: I don’t own you anything. You asked for a brief explanation and I told you where to go find it. Instead of writing that snarky comment you could’ve instead used the web for its original purpose and conduct your own research and not bug strangers on the internet to do your bidding.
You’re not the only one they’re doing it to (I went to their profile to see if this is a pattern, and it sure is).

Seems like one of them bad apples. Hopefully the admins of their home instance deal with them soon.
