Recently uploaded videos do not play at 720p with mpeg-dash disabled

[pitsi]

Context

Please provide any relevant information about your setup

• Add-on Version: 6.8.18
• Kodi Version: 18.9 and 19.4
• Kodi GUI Language: Greek and english respectively
• Operating System: Libreelec 9.2.6 and debian testing/unstable respectively, both x64
• Operating System Language: English

---

Expected Behavior

Videos should play at 720p, which is the max resolution available when mpeg-dash is set to disabled.

---

Current Behavior

When a video is selected, the loading circle appears as usual but the video does not start and kodi instantly returns to the menu where all videos are listed. This happens only on recently uploaded videos, which play with no issue after 1-2 days.
Moreover, right clicking on a video, selecting "ask for resolution" and then "720p" has no effect. Selecting 360p (the second highest resolution with mpeg-dash disabled) makes the video play... but at 360p.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Disable mpeg-dash from the settings.
2. Set max resolution to 720p (optional).
3. Find a video that was recently uploaded, eg on ltt.
4. Try playing it.

Log

The following is from 2 days ago, from a video of jerryrig, which was uploaded 4 days ago (counting today). Today, the video plays as usual

Additional Information

Obviously, enabling mpeg-dash solves the forementioned issue, but I think it is some api bs from youtube's end.
The issue is also confirmed with a friend running 19.4 on w10.

Same here. Kodi 19.4, Windows 10

So today I had the idea to replicate kodi's behavior on mpv, which, as you may all know, uses yt-dlp to resolve youtube's urls.
This is what yt-dlp reports about the resolutions of a video, so I picked a recent one with Linus from ltt that goes up to 4k.

Notice the ids 22 and 18, which are respectively the 720p and 360p versions of the video, which in turn are the qualities used by the addon when mpeg-dash is disabled. So, playing id 22 with mpv resulted it this... mess and the video did not even start

Meanwhile, playing id 18 in the same way had zero issues

$ mpv --ytdl-format=18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3kggpE9W8A

As expected, the video does not play at 720p in kodi too, while it plays with no issues at 360p. This, imho, means that youtube's api is seriously messing things up for recent videos at 720p. So, this is definitely not an issue of the addon but a bs of the api. Thus, I let the devs decide if the issue can be closed and if the addon must make mpeg-dash mandatory.
I know it will affect users who are on kodi 17 or lower, because kodi lacks inputstream.adaptive for those versions.

p.s. Yt-dlp above is still on v2022.05.18. i.e. the previous version after today's latest v2022.06.22.
There are some changes about youtube in its changelog, but I doubt that have to do anything with the issue.

[pitsi]

New test because I got the upgrade to yt-dlp v2022.06.22.1 earlier this morning.
This time it only played the first frame and it quitted!

Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

Well, at least it plays on 144p... which is a 3gp file at 6fps, yes SIX fps. Sony ericsson k750 memories :D

In other news, a similar issue has been reported to yt-dlp, ~1 month before my issue here.
yt-dlp/yt-dlp#3372

[pitsi]

Can anyone confirm that this issue still exists? Since then, I have set youtube to play at 720p with mpeg dash disabled and I have not seen the issue for at least 2 or 3 months (that is as far as I can recall).
If it does not, please close it.

[pitsi]

Closing it, as I can no longer verify it in either kodi or mpv.

It just happened on a random vid that was uploaded recently. Here is the log's output

Exiting... (Quit)

I tried many other videos that were uploaded recently but all of them worked fine. I will not reopen the issue until I find a second one that does the same. I am fed up with those idiots at youtube and their lastest changes in the api :(

p.s. I noticed that a similar issue was opened, #426, was opened yesterday. However, since the contents of its log seem different than the one above, I am reporting my issue here.

[pitsi]

2+ (almost 3) weeks after that video was uploaded and it finally plays as it should! Last time I had checked it was during the weekend and it was still throttling, so something has changed on their end those last couple of days.

Thank you youtube! /s
