Able to load playlists, but playlists won't play; PyTube update

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear @KoljaWindeler ,

I was able to extract the cookie and set up the YtubeMusicPlayer.
All playlists are able to load, but since yesterday, when I select a playlist to play, the player skips through the songs of the playlist (without playing them) and turns eventually off.

I am running HA Core 2025.1.3 and version 20241229.01 of the Ytube Music integration.

Please find below the error messages:

Most likely this issue has to be caused by the latest PyTube update.

Could you please have a look at this issue?

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Robin

I was getting Invalid requirement 'git+https://github.com/felipeucelli/pytubefix.git@botGuard#egg=pytubefix when I tried that fix, but adding the package name fixed it for me. Here's the working manifest.json I'm using:

  "domain": "ytube_music_player",
  "name": "YouTube Music Player",
  "codeowners": [
    "@KoljaWindeler",

A bump from v8.8.5 to v8.12.1 in the manifest should do the trick now.
