Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files
Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624
Could anybody explain it to me?

Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
There is a javascript library for interfacing with Youtube's API directly. It can also run on browsers. Using this, it's pretty easy to create a simple extension that replaces the default video player with your own. You can do a lot to improve your experience this way. I've made one which allows for higher quality streaming, pre-buffering video in the background, more subtitling options, etc... [2].

Web Scraping with Python: Everything you need to know
Love this approach. We can just bypass all the normal web scraping and get the structured data straight from the source. These APIs are usually no less stable than the ever changing HTML structure anyways.
Case study: YouTube.js

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.
(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)
For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.
From the Kotlin source for "dvd":
Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).
Features

Run custom yt-dlp commands.
Update yt-dlp version from settings.
Share link via other apps.

Yep. yt-dlp and youtube-dl

Will also start to feel the impact. My theory is that we will see a bunch of new video hosting sites as youtube itself attempts to lock down its ecosystem. They haven't paid attention in any adversarial way as far as I can tell.
When they do, it wont be great.

Forget spaceships; I just want my music
Youtube-dl still functions quite well. You can even grab the CLI here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
And occasionally you can find one of their TLDs just by doing a search on DDG or Brave.

Hopefully this isn't stupid. But what am I doing wrong please?
If you don't want to switch to yt-dlp, then wait for a fix in the code of youtube-dl and then download a version from Unofficial daily builds.

TMS' "fingerprint" question
I'm using fingerprints built from different versions of the song, including the original and remastered versions you can find on the Discord and the "pitch corrected" version you can grab from YouTube. I'm chopping each fingerprint into 100 sample chunks and searching each YouTube video (audio only, using youtube-dl) for them. Checking for the fingerprint is the fastest part of the process, so trying many against each download isn't a problem. I've confirmed it's possible to detect TMS in videos about TMS (eg. Whang, CW Schultz) where less than the full song is played.

YouTube is bringing unskippable 30-second ads to TV | The longer commercials will appear in place of two consecutive 15-second ads. The company will also show ads when you pause videos.
It's getting the point where I wont use YT unless I'm using https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
