Unfortunately, YouTube cast stopped working since some days ago

I've have been using new pipe to get around it

Hi,

Sorry new to this, exactly how did you resolve this issue?

Mine used to work but not anymore, just get a black screen.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to really get things working as they used to since youtube did some updates. Wish I could help you R4zi3lrrr If you find something I'd love to try again too so let me know

Hello,
a friend of mine uses raspicast and has some problems with streaming YouTube videos too.

We've looked in the file 'raspicast/src/main/java/at/huber/raspicast/youtube/RaspiYouTubeExtractor.java' and noticed a blank space in the regex for the pattern patYouTubePageLink and patYouTubeShortLink.

Might this be the cause of this problem?

will this work for youtube using yt-dlp?
mkfifo video_pipe
yt-dlp -f best -o - <VIDEO_URL> > video_pipe
omxplayer video_pipe

I did this using 2 terminals one for yt-dlp -f best -o - <VIDEO_URL> > video_pipe and the other for omxplayer video_pipe. It played the video however Im not so good with java and android or i would just implement this.
