Show HN: YouTube Player App in the Browser (8chananon.github.io)
1 points by 8chanAnon 700 days ago
The app bypasses ads and age-gating. Very fast.

This is just a scaled-down sample taken from a larger project.

Youtube just changed their code. The app is not currently working. Coincidence?

I might have to wait a bit to see what else gets changed.

Sorry about that.

Update: Fixed! Will keep an eye on it.

Hmm. The title was supposed to be "YouTube Player app in your browser".

Why was the word "your" replaced with "the"?

I have information that Youtube is redirecting from "www.youtube.com" to "m.youtube.com" when it detects a mobile user agent. The page data that is returned appears to be incompatible with the app's parsing code.

Will figure this out.

I've updated the app to remove the user agent string so that the link will not redirect to "m.youtube.com". I hope that's all that's needed to fix this.

I have no idea what the potential compatibility issues might be with mobile. This has only been tested on PC. Any way to provide debugging info?
