Can't log to YouTube when using Chromium
« on: December 14, 2019, 04:39:48 am »

I just upgraded to 26.0.12 64bit today.

The web browser engine I always used is Chromium and I noticed that I was logged out from Google when I tried the YouTube streaming. The problem is that I can't log in because Google claim the browser is not secure. Switching to the Internet Explorer engine solved the login problem but I'm missing the smoother operation and animated previews of Chromium.

In short: Going to Streaming -> YouTube won't allow yu to log in to your account when using Chromium but will work when using Internet Explorer engine. This is a behavior that is either specific to MC26 or is a new policy implemented now by Google.

I am also seeing this now with the Chromium option.

Google recommends Java Script be enabled, etc.

I tried an App Password on my account thinking maybe dual factor auth was the issue. It was not.

I am actually trying to use music.youtube.com and that's the error I see, though I see it with YouTube standard as well.

I should have been clearer.  In theater view, I had added a webpage (https://music.youtube.com), and it worked for quite awhile.  Now, if I navigate to that page it asks me to log in, and then says the browser or app may not be secure.

So then I thought perhaps I needed to use the services under the streaming navigation.  If I try logging in there, I have the same problem.  I do use google authenticator two factor authorization and I am never prompted for the code (if this is important).  I installed 26.0.30 and rebooted.

Thanks

Google have changed their web sites and the Sign In API for their sites, such as YouTube. Sign In does not work any more. So it was removed from MC26.0.30.

I'm actually hoping that will be enabled again at some time. But for now, no personalised YouTube from within MC.  :(

So, just run YouTube in a browser and use the WDM to route audio to MC. It will be the same audio as previously.  :)

Sigh.  Sorry for not picking up it was all google services.  Maybe I can get their desktop app working inside of theater view...
