RE: ReVanced/revanced-integrations#638

This PR also changes the default client spoof to iOS, as the only side effect known now is that HDR is not working.

Captions menu is now fix, but the speed menu is still missing.

#3197 can be fixed up to solve the playback speed issue.

Is user-agent also spoofed as iOS client?

YouTube default playback speed button can't be fixed?

Playback speed is not fixed with this PR.

Speed menu can be fixed by improving pr #3197

Good find for HDR. It may bring back the playback speed menu entry given that iOS clients are supposed to have one to begin with.

Sorry but i've no idea to work/try with bytecode xD

I tried spoofing the user agent, but the playback speed menu entry was still missing. I couldn't test HDR yet, though.

Can you push the test commit? I'll try

I tested it locally with a proxy, no code changes

There's another issue with iOS spoof: you can't listen a live stream video in background.

Which user-agent did you use btw?

This PR is an improvement compared to the existing spoofing strategy

Nah...not a lot, just few (luckily):

  • Bugged background live stream.
  • [Fixed with user-agent?] Missing HDR
  • [Fixed with this PR] Missing 60fps
  • Slow initial playback for some videos (I can reproduce this).
  • [Eventually bypassed with another PR] Missing speed flyout menu.

It's just a matter of time before reaching 100% reliability.

Slow initial playback for some videos (I can reproduce this).

Just for reference, that was probably caused by the test suite spoof fetching the seekbar thumbnails (which blocks playback until the thumbnail storyboard is fetched). iOS spoof already has thumbnails so there should be no extra delay.

It's a bit weird, because I can reproduce this only with ios spoof enabled.

Playback speed menu is fixed if the client is spoofed to iOS embedded:

IOS(39, "iPhone16,2", "2.4")

Captions is also present, but quality appears to be capped at 720p and player swipe gestures does not work. Probably other stuff is broken too.

Playback speed menu is also fixed if the client is spoofed to Android VR (client 28, version "1.37").

All video resolutions appear to be present (I can't tell if HDR is working or not). Audio only playback of livestreams works.

Only thing I found that doesn't work is player swipe gestures.

Not sure if playback is broken or not, as I've never had that issue.

https://youtu.be/njX2bu-_Vw4

HDR is not present with android vr, at least not without additional changes. I did not try changing the client device name since I can't seem to find what the name should be. Edit: the model appears to be Quest, but setting this did not change anything.

Just noticed an odd bug though, where if playback is paused it will randomly resume playback (including if the app is paused in the background). This doesn't show up with any other client I tried.

Some of the other iOS and Android clients also worked, but all that I tried were capped at 720p.

Playback speed seems doesn't exist on iOS client.

Have you tried with this?

Have you tried with this?

Very mostly broken. Incognito fails. Non incognito playback starts with a weird brief popup that looks bizarrely like html 1.0 (even though that makes no sense). no high resolution video.

Ok, so it can be possible to rely only on few clients, if the point is to limiting the bugs.

...and i'm afraid that HDR can't be fixed, because inotia00 said me that codec to correctly decode this videos type is missing in the android package.

It would be better if the option to manually enter ID/ClientName/Version was added in the settings, it would help in tests, and maybe some flexibility.

it seems that the string has not been updated. When the iOS client is opened, it is shown that there are side effects.
