Additional context

  • Lux version: 0.24.1
  • Go version: 1.24+
  • This happens consistently for normal youtube watch URLs and youtu.be short links
  • The issue appears to be related to a recent youtube player cipher/signature change
  • Other tools such as yt-dlp currently work with the same url
  • This blocks using lux as a YouTube resolver backend
