Processing browse request throws Error: illegal tag: field no 3 wire type 7

Hi, I've been trying to implement a surge alternative, when trying to process browse request with nodejs, I found that this browse request will throw Error: illegal tag: field no 3 wire type 7.

It seems that the protobuf types are mismatched, potentially causing the first ad when opening a video not to be blocked.

Here is the code I use to process the request:

const fs = require("fs");
var store = {};
var e = null;
var $persistentStore = {
  read: (key) => {
    return store[key];
  },
  write: (value, key) => {
    store[key] = value;
    return true;
  },
};
const res = fs.readFileSync(
  "./tp-dump-request-https___youtubei.googleapis.com_youtubei_v1_browse"
);
const req = fs.readFileSync(
  "./tp-dump-request-https___youtubei.googleapis.com_youtubei_v1_browse"
);
var $request = {
  url: "https://youtubei.googleapis.com/youtubei/v1/browse?key=AIzaSyB-63vPrdThhKuerbB2N_l7Kwwcxj6yUAc&retry=1",
  body: new Uint8Array(req),
};
var $response = {
  url: "https://youtubei.googleapis.com/youtubei/v1/browse?key=AIzaSyB-63vPrdThhKuerbB2N_l7Kwwcxj6yUAc&retry=1",
  body: new Uint8Array(res),
};
var v = null;
var $done = (obj) => {
  console.log("=======", obj);
  v = obj;
};
console.log("Before eval");
eval(fs.readFileSync("./youtube.request.beta.js").toString());
console.log("After eval");
console.log("Result: ", v);

Can you help me with why the video's first ad is still showing up?

This error is generally a problem with deserializing the protobuf.

It could be because the data is not a protobuf, or the proto file was written incorrectly

Thx! I guess the problem is that I assumed that whatever URL that matches the rule is protobuf, but that is not true.
