Youtube plugin

[Executive]

Has there been any updates on the youtube plugin? When you try to view a video you get the following error..." There was an error in extract video url: Bad Request ...."

What Image? What image version? Which receiver?

Edision OS MIO+ 4K and I believe all versions across the board. I tried Tnap versions 4, 6 & 7 and get the same error for all.

Using latest TNAP 7 image April 12, 2026 and my Edision OS Mio+, the youtube plugin works fine here.

The plugin works up to that screen. I get the error when I click on a video. There was an error in extract video url: Bad Request

There is some history of youtube issues. If you read this and following, you may fix your issue. My current youtube folder is attached.

Thanks Cyberham. Will give it a try.

Root cause:
"Bad Request" is an HTTP 400 returned by YouTube's player endpoint (youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player). The code in _download_webpage() raises RuntimeError(e.reason) on URLError, which propagates as the string "Bad Request" shown to the user.

Why only one user:
1. Expired/corrupt OAuth token — if previously logged into YouTube in the plugin and the refresh token stored on the receiver is now invalid, it gets sent as an Authorization header and YouTube rejects the whole request.
2. System clock out of sync — YouTube's API validates request timestamps; a receiver with a wrong clock can get 400s
3. Network/ISP interference — some ISPs or VPNs modify or block requests to YouTube's API endpoints

Possibe Fix (in order of likelihood):
1. Go into the YouTube plugin settings and sign out / clear the YouTube account — delete /etc/enigma2/YouTubeRefreshToken if it exists
2. Check and fix the receiver's system clock.
3. Try without VPN If a VPN is in use.
