Android 2.3.7 playback not working

[acewayx]

I patched :
2.0.16
2.1.6
2.3.4
(and more)
and the playback didnt work on any of them,
The device im using is motorola flipout running custom rom android 2.3.7 , i did everything with instructions (manualy) and it doesnt work.

[acewayx]

i mean its loading indefinitly.

[SavunOski]

Does the Related and Comments tab work on the watch page?

[acewayx]

it accualy doesnt (thanks so so much for response btw :D)

[acewayx]

they display network error or load indefinitly

[SavunOski]

You need to switch to prod environment and enable SSL. But beforehand, generate a key using:
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -keyout key.pem -out csr.pem
Then generate a certificate using: openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in csr.pem -signkey key.pem -out server.crt

After this, server.crt will be your certificate and key.pem will be your key to use when yt2009 asks for it during setup.

These commands work on Ubuntu, but I haven't tried other distros/Windows. Look up the proper syntax for your operating system and use it like that instead if it doesn't work. If all you want is to get it working asap, I can also generate a cert/key pair for you on my Linux server and send it your way with bogus info.

You're welcome!

i get this error now when trying to start back end :

node:internal/tls/secure-context:93
context.setKey(key, passphrase);

Can you send your config.json here? You can remove the IP adresses and such.

[acewayx]

{"port":6069,"env":"prod","ip":"<PRIVATE_INFORMATION>","useSSL":true,"SSLCertPath":"C:\Users\USERnotNAME\<PRIVATE_INFORMATION>\server.crt","SSLKeyPath":"C:\Users\USERnotNAME\<PRIVATE_INFORMATION>\csr.pem","SSLPort":"6969","tokens":["*"],"auto_maintain":true,"maintain_max_size":10,"maintain_max_cache_size":15}

[acewayx]

and yes haha funny number , i didnt have other ports that i knew were free ._.

[SavunOski]

As far as I know, port HAS to be 80 and SSL port HAS to be 443 in order for the app to work. Simply edit those out to be the correct values, and try again

[acewayx]

i edited it out and still get this error :

node:internal/tls/secure-context:93
context.setKey(key, passphrase);

[SavunOski]

Oh I completely forgot the actual problem 😅
You seem to be using csr.pem as the key. That is not the actual key and you need to use key.pem instead.

[acewayx]

uh , like i very rarly do stuff which use certificates/etc , how can i aquire such a key ?

[SavunOski]

key.pem should already be in the folder you ran the first 2 commands on

[acewayx]

and which one do i connect to the app ?
443 or 80 ?

[acewayx]

Port 80 says :
There was a problem while playing
Touch to retry

[SavunOski]

The app will automatically choose which one to connect to, simply follow the steps in APK_SETUP.md.
Use HTTP if possible though

[acewayx]

I did that APK_SETUP.md like 6 times so i know i have to use it duhh :D

[SavunOski]

You don't need to explicitly indicate the port in most instances, try it without the port

[acewayx]

still nothing , still problem while playing

can it have anything to do with me using cloudflared tunneling ?

[SavunOski]

Might be, since one other instance that I know of which uses cloudflared also has the same issue with the app not working. I don't use it and so I don't really know the fix.

I have a public instance you could use that does work, if you want? I also already patched a ton of versions

[acewayx]

its not fun if you do that.

[acewayx]

also i have domain i used on cloudflared so i kinda have to use it

[acewayx]

also wdym by

I've got a yt2009 instance publicly available, and apps do work when patched using it

also i have domain i used on cloudflared so i kinda have to use it

I've got no idea how cloudflared works or why it cannot be used as an endpoint for an app (or if it's the problem in the first place), sorry lul
You could try patching using the IP of the host machine directly, although idk if that bypasses cloudflare or not

[acewayx]

im hosting it locally

[acewayx]

idk any other alternatives and basically oracle sucks

[acewayx]

do you maybe have any suggestions for tunneling software ?

[SavunOski]

I used localtunnel for a project before and it worked very well, you could check it out

[acewayx]

and how can i make it not ask for password and not reset the domain each time ?

[acewayx]

I used the localtunnel software and it still says There was a problem while playing , i cant anymore i cant i cant i cant

[acewayx]

WHY DOESNT IT WORK ??????
I DO EVERYTHING FOR ALL THIS TIME AND NOTHING WORKS WHY WHY WHY HWY HWH ASDUH FYB OGHIUYA IRHTFAS I JSYADF RCANT ANYMORE THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE I DO EVERYTHING RIGHT I DO IT 20 TIMES AND NOTHING WORKS >???? WHY IS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS ????????

[acewayx]

how about that public instance ?
I just cant with those tunneling shits why is it always designed to be pain in the ass to install and pain to use ?

I have a public instance you could use that does work, if you want? I also already patched a ton of versions

[SavunOski]

Sorry for the late reply
You can use my instance at http://89.168.117.130/
It redirects to the fastest other instance available at the moment.

The already patched apps are available at https://app.mediafire.com/kmf3dpddwiw0q , but you can also patch any other versions yourself.

I don't know of any ways to disable password protection in localtunnel, will let you know if I come across it

[acewayx]

then how are you hosting it ????

[SavunOski]

The main instance is hosted on Oracle Cloud for compatibility with older patches (I hardcoded the IP, so theres no other way to redirect to another instance without repatching), which then redirects to Azure because the free servers there are faster.

[acewayx]

yea i wanna do dedicated client and stuff for android 2.3.7 (as in modernizing the design) so i wanna host it myself , sadly oracle doesnt allow me to make an instance :P

[acewayx]

yes i know this idea is dumb.. its just my ideas mostly

[acewayx]

sometimes im just in my own world , im sorry if i were mean ealier or something

[SavunOski]

It's ok, although I think you can still modernize without altering server side code?

[acewayx]

yes but i also wanna block the use of the website itself (yes i know its stupid as hell but i just want to :c)

[acewayx]

doesnt work.
i patched the apk and it doesnt work and it infact should.

Sorry for the late reply You can use my instance at http://89.168.117.130/ It redirects to the fastest other instance available at the

[acewayx]

apk version :
2.1.6

[SavunOski]

Could you attach the APK file, or provide more info about how it's failing (like traffic capture, any error codes or something)

[SavunOski]

I was getting the same error just now, looks like something was going wrong with the Azure server. I reversed back to Oracle for the moment, could you check again? Restart the app just in case.

[acewayx]

yea let me check

[acewayx]

nope still the same thing , to clarify i rebooted the whole phone

[acewayx]

here is the apk

cattube3-aligned-debugSigned.zip

[acewayx]

it was patched according to the instructions

[SavunOski]

Some videos don't seem to be working, try other videos

I'll check the APK tomorrow

[acewayx]

i patched an newwer version and it says "connection to server lost"

[acewayx]

yea sometimes its server error and sometimes playback error

[acewayx]

Some videos don't seem to be working, try other videos

its all not some

[thefireKS]

+1
Set everything up like SavunOski said, no errors in cmd
But videos are not playing, all of them. Just stuck on an infinite loading

[acewayx]

same , they are in a loop of loading , same issue

[acewayx]

i mean now its playback error , i had the infinite loading ealier

[thefireKS]

UPD for my case: i connected to my mobile internet and it worked. Seems there's an issues with open ports of my provider.

[ftde0]

assuming the instance is set up correctly (config.ip MUST be a proper IP and not 127.0.0.1/localhost for playback), android versions lower than 4.2 need additional handling for video playback to work, but they are not always detected. in such cases, you can proxy the device and check the user-agent sent to the /get_video requests once you click a video within the app.

you can then add a unique part of that user-agent (such as a LG Player 1, HTC Streaming Player, whatever you find in that useragent) to a reencode_devs config variable (or YT2009_REENCODE_DEVS for docker).

[ftde0]

no activity, assuming solved
