Fetch error

[NineXYZ]

The music section does not load at all, no matter what artist name I put in the search bar.
I guess it's a problem with the invidious instance so I tried a few random ones and that didn't work either.

+1 On the issue, may I ask what desktop environment setup you are using? It looks so nice.

+1 on the issue, and I think its Hyprland

[NineXYZ]

Correct, it's Hyprland. I changed my system since that screenshot, so I don't have the dotfiles anymore.

+1 on the issue. Nice rice. I cannot play anything. If I play a playlist it just keep skipping tracks and then reaches the end of playlist and if I am playing a track it again keeps trying different URLs and then either a Fetch Error or worse, no result.

I get the same error with this specific search, other strings work just fine, youtube-dl has a similar error when fetching for login-protected content (For example "Yoru ni kakeru" from Yoasobi, since it has sensible content, is age-restricted and accessible only when logged in) the only solution I found to avoid this is to login from your browser, dump your session cookies in a file and provide that cookie file to youtube-dl (or yt-dlp if you are using that one instead) I don't know any other way to provide youtube-dl your login info, I will try and tell you if I can get it to work

Update: manage to get results working only when searching for specific music, doing Artist -> Music or Playlist -> Music is not working

+1 on the issue. Just impossible to fetch anything (i get fetch error on all categories after changing the invidious instance)

I had fetch error before installing : "sudo apt install -y youtube-dl libmpv1 libmpv-dev
"

The problem is with the invidious instances, some of them went down because of... well us, too many projects point to instances and they close.
I can only recommend changing instances in config(~/.config/ytui_music/config.json line 73).
You can find servers on https://docs.invidious.io/instances/

The app doesn't indicate why fetch error occurred, I'll probably fork it and play around when I have some time(so probably never) for now the solution is(probably) changing server list

PS: if you have a title with space, change the space to _

Is it possible to set Youtube Music as server? I really thought this gets music directly from yt music.

[foxyseta]

@Grandkahuna43325 Yeah, logging would be nice.

Nope

Nope

You technically can do this by using an <iframe> for playback (similar to how yt-dlp works) and the YouTube Data API v3. However, this approach would require significant rewriting, and you'd also need to include a mandatory local API key in your configs. This setup could be cumbersome to manage.

That said, while it would involve a performance tradeoff, it might offer more stability and be a bit more legally compliant than other methods.
