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.
I actually did not know that. I mean I should have figured cause the patching looked really similar to when I soft modded my Wii, but I’m not a very bright man.
If you patched it yourself, surely you must have noticed downloading the official YouTube client to modify, haha
Oh yeah, but I really just clicked on the build number in the patcher app and it brought me to apkmirror automagically
Revanced manager just installs it. You can do it manually, but it’s way less of a faff to use the manager, it keeps everything up to date as well
