See playlists but cannot play

[bfrggit]

As instructed in the setup step, I pasted in the request headers of a POST request. Now I can see the YouTube playlists and auto playlists, however whenever I try to play a song, progress bar (Iris) shows 3~4 sec of progress and then stop. MPD client clicking on play button has no effect at all.

Same here. Cant play anything

Fixed this locally by updating pytube and ytmusicapi to the latest versions (12.0.0 and 0.20.0 respectively). Songs are definitely playing and I'm no longer seeing the get_signature error. When I get a chance I'll put a PR together.

My installed versions are
mopidy-ytmusic = 3.1.1
ytmusicapi = 2.25.1
pytube = 12.0.0

I am getting the following errors

Looks like this is caused by a bug in pytube. Link to the comment with workaround: pytube/pytube#1293 (comment). There is a manual workaround to replace the regex - it works for me
