On current YouTube player +`c2f7551f` (May 2026) all six miss. NewPipeExtractor master's six +patterns also miss on the same file — and NPE-master's nsig (throttling) +pipeline is openly broken (`TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1339`, open +since 2026-02-03; the dev branch has had no sig/nsig commits in 60 +days). The reason NPE *appears* to work in apps is that the +Innertube paths for Android / iOS / TV clients return stream URLs that +don't carry an obfuscated `s=` signature for most videos — sig deobf +is a fallback the typical playback path never reaches. + +Two structural changes have happened since rustypipe was last cut: + +1. **The sig fn call site now sometimes takes a numeric prefix arg.** + New shape: `var&&(var=SIGFN(123,decodeURIComponent(var)))`.

So an + anchor like `decodeURIComponent` is no longer present at the sig-fn + call site as text — it's `e[37]` (or whatever the index is). + +NPE's pipeline handles (1) but not (2).

Now sig_fn / nsig_fn extraction is best-effort.

Deobfuscator gains has_sig()/has_nsig() — deobfuscate_sig/_nsig short-circuit with a recognisable error class so cipher streams on the wrong client fall through to the next client in the chain instead of killing the whole call. CRIT-2: Soft-failed DeobfData now caches with a 1-hour retry instead of living for 24h. Re-extraction kicks in automatically once YT rotates back to a player.js shape we recognise — no more wall-clock-day-of-poisoned-cache. HIGH-1: Reporter now emits a Level::WRN `extract_deobf_soft_fail` report on partial extraction. straw / torttube get an artefact when sig/nsig regex starts missing. HIGH-2: player_client_order branches on opts.auth. With botguard + authed-cookie users, Desktop is now position 2 (where their cookie maps to an OAuth session) instead of position 4. HIGH-3: Android dropped from the default order. needs_po_token doesn't flag Android, so requests were firing unsigned and tripping YT's bot-check rejection — which is also not switchable. Re-add when a real po_token strategy lands. MED-1: Comment in needs_deobf softened — the iOS/Android-no-deobf property is a current YT behaviour, not a permanent protocol. MED-2: Cargo.toml workspace pin bumped 0.11.4 → 0.11.5 so it matches the package version (avoids future 0.12.x bump surprises). MED-3: Smoke test fixture uses an isolated per-process scratch dir instead of the repo root, avoiding cache-race with tests/youtube.rs (which uses CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR and could wipe OAuth tokens). LOW-1: Misleading "dead-code fallback" comment in extract_fns replaced with the actual behaviour description. LOW-2: get_deobf_data uses read-then-write — concurrent player calls on warm cache no longer serialise on the write lock. LOW-3: Smoke test catches IpBan via exact UnavailabilityReason match instead of substring "Sign in/IpBan/bot" — a real regression won't silently pass anymore. LOW-4: TV smoke test now asserts !audio_streams.is_empty() too, matching iOS / default-order tests. LOW-5: needs_deobf comment notes YT's historical n= experiments on Android — sets expectation for future review passes. --- Cargo.toml | 2 +- src/client/mod.rs | 124 ++++++++++++++++++++------------ src/client/player.rs | 31 ++++++-- src/deobfuscate.rs | 160 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- src/error.rs | 7 ++ tests/sulkta_smoke.rs | 55 +++++++++++---- 6 files changed, 283 insertions(+), 96 deletions(-) diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml index 39cb949..f56ee19 100644 --- a/Cargo.toml +++ b/Cargo.toml @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ path_macro = "1.0.0" tracing-test = "0.2.5" # Included crates -rustypipe = { path = ".", version = "0.11.4", default-features = false } +rustypipe = { path = ".", version = "0.11.5", default-features = false } rustypipe-downloader = { path = "./downloader", version = "0.3.1", default-features = false, features = [ "indicatif", "audiotag", diff --git a/src/client/mod.rs b/src/client/mod.rs index f3304f0..14c3ead 100644 --- a/src/client/mod.rs +++ b/src/client/mod.rs @@ -100,10 +100,16 @@ impl ClientType { } fn needs_deobf(self) -> bool { - // Android + iOS InnerTube paths return pre-signed stream URLs (no &s= cipher, - // no &n= throttling param), so they don't need player.js deobfuscation at all. - // Skipping the deobf fetch here keeps the player path alive even when YouTube - // rotates the player.js to a shape our extractor doesn't recognise. + // As of YT iOS client v19.x and Android InnerTube v19.x (Dec 2024+), + // both paths return pre-signed stream URLs (no &s= cipher param, no + // &n= throttling param), so they don't need player.js deobfuscation. + // YT has experimented with serving cipher streams to iOS and n= params + // to Android in past A/B tests — if that returns, this matcher needs + // to be revisited along with the po_token strategy and a switchable + // fallback to a Tv/Desktop client. + // + // Skipping the deobf fetch here keeps the player path alive even when + // YouTube rotates player.js to a shape our extractor doesn't recognise. !matches!(self, ClientType::Ios | ClientType::Android) } @@ -1276,55 +1282,87 @@ impl RustyPipe { /// Get deobfuscation data (either from cache or extracted from YouTube's JavaScript code) async fn get_deobf_data(&self) -> Result { + // Cheap read-path first: avoid serialising concurrent player calls behind + // the write lock when the cache is already fresh (the common case after + // the first request).
