You need to enable piped's proxy currently if you want to use dash

[nanedi]

@FireMasterK
Hi.
On LibreTube yes I enabled piped proxy.
If I turned off the dash, the video could not load for over 5 seconds.

[FireMasterK]

It's likely really slow, but will eventually load due to throttling by YouTube.

@FireMasterK
Everything was fine yesterday before updating the server this morning.

I have another server with an older version, and this server is working fine.

[FireMasterK]

Does the issue happen on the piped website too? There were some bug fixes to the UMP decoding logic in the proxy, try updating it again and see if it persists

[nanedi]

@FireMasterK

Web player is fine.
Only on LibreTube has the problem.

[FireMasterK]

That's weird, can you reproduce it on the official instance on libretube?

[nanedi]

@FireMasterK
Still the same.

Yes.

When DASH is active:
1.If you close the Piped proxy, the videos does not open.
2.If you open piped proxy, buffering is slow(All servers)
3.Automatic video quality was not working in LibreTube.
4.HLS was slow at opening video, then great at buffering

@FireMasterK @Pamilg8

1. Enabled Piped Proxy
2. Disabled HLS/Dash
3. The video could not load for over 5 seconds, Piped own server is also the same.

1. Enabled Piped Proxy
2. Enabled HLS/Dash

@FireMasterK
For the latest version

1. Enabled Piped Proxy
2. Disabled HLS/Dash
3. The video never loads again.

The same as before.

I had similar problem. But now app works fine.
These are the steps I followed:

1. Enabled Piped Proxy
2. Enabled Use HLS
3. Enabled LBRY HLS
4. The video now plays with minimal buffering.

I also happen to have hi-speed internet connection. So, my app doesn't suffer from any buffering problems.

[Jonathan-Navagis]

Enabling HLS makes the app work again but with some pretty severely degraded performance comparatively

Background audio uses dash so this also breaks audio mode :( at least videos play though

[shellheim]

Was facing the same problem, enabling HLS works. @dtolia I don't using LBRY is strictly necessary for the player to work (at least in my case). As jake says, the audio mode is unfortunately broken.

[borkie]

Same here

[FireMasterK]

Fixed with TeamPiped/piped-proxy@a9bc07e, huge thanks to @AudricV for finding the issue!

[nanedi]

Thanks its workin fine now.

[ghost]

Dash works again, but still not with proxy disabled.

A few days ago, videos stopped playing. All the metadata appeared fine, only the videos wouldn't play, there'd be a few seconds of the spinning circle and then nothing. I tried multiple instances. Just turned on HLS, now it works again. Wouldn't it make sense to fall back to HLS automatically after a while?
