1.0.1

🛠️ WORD DEVS • Lavalink Node v1.0.1

Critical hotfix release addressing a YouTube playback outage caused by upstream changes to Google's SABR streaming enforcement. This release is required for anyone running v1.0.0 — YouTube playback was broken on the previous release regardless of configuration.

---

🐛 What Was Broken

Since early September 2026, YouTube began serving SABR-only responses (no direct-URL audio formats) to a growing share of clients, causing youtube-plugin:1.18.2 to fail on virtually all tracks with:

dev.lavalink.youtube.AllClientsFailedException: All clients failed to load the item.
Client [WEB] failed: No supported audio streams available, available types:
Client [ANDROID_VR] failed: This video requires login.

This is a confirmed, widespread upstream issue — not specific to this node's configuration. Tracked upstream at youtube-sorce to lavalinkdevs #240 and #244.

✅ What Changed

🧩 YouTube Plugin

• Pinned to snapshot build f45bbb7 (dev.lavalink.youtube:youtube-plugin:f45bbb7aebfcbc1c553769e04af6cd43afa8b7c3, resolved via maven.lavalink.dev/snapshots) — includes unreleased fixes not yet in any tagged 1.18.x release, including forced remote-cipher usage and cipher-extraction repairs.
• Retained OAuth2 refresh-token flow and remote cipher server (cipher.kikkia.dev) from v1.0.0.
• Added optional pot (Proof-of-Origin token) support as a secondary mitigation layer.

⚠️ Known Caveats

• This build tracks an unreleased snapshot, not an official youtube-source release. It will be repinned to the next stable tag (1.18.3+) once published upstream.
• YouTube's anti-bot enforcement is an active, evolving situation — playback may intermittently degrade again before upstream ships a permanent fix.
