Update AVPro to 3.4.1
tracked
Haxy
There's a fix in 3.4.1 for this issue:
This is currently blocking a WIP update for VRCVideoCacher that switches YouTube playback over to use the SABR protocol.
The move to SABR is mainly to future-proof things, as YouTube keeps increasing its bot checks and the legacy streams are becoming less reliable.
There's also the possibility that YouTube could eventually remove the legacy streams entirely.
If that happens, the current playback method would stop working, making YouTube playback unavailable until a SABR-based solution is in place.
Updating AVPro to 3.4.1 would unblock that work, help keep YouTube playback working going forward, and also enable support for up to 8K YouTube playback once the VRCVideoCacher update is released.

I'll add a note here, since this ticket has received a lot of traction.
We updated to AVPro 3.3.6 recently, which was a bigger task than you might imagine. Compared to 2.x, which we used before, 3.x has a very different set of requirements, especially on Android. In fact, iOS still uses 2.x for now. We also have several custom safety and compatibility changes in the AVPro code on our end, which need to be migrated every time we update.
At the time of doing the 3.3.6 update, 3.4.1 was not available yet. And since we had just spent time upgrading AVPro already, doing so again wasn't really in the cards right away. But we're looking into it now.
To avoid any confusion, I want to clarify that this would also not affect Youtube playback using just VRChat, albeit we do hear you in that it fixes issues for third-party tools. These tools are not officially supported, mind you. I am unsure how much this minor version update would benefit users outside of that specific scenario.

_tau_ From what I gather, this wouldn't even specifically just help VRCVideoCacher, but
any
instance where an fMP4 HLS/DASH stream is being used. I'm not exactly sure what most clubs use, but many music venues in VRChat rely on these segmented streams/video files to work properly.peq42
