Botguard filtering

[bcomnes]

Youtube is filtering requests that lack a BotGuard token. It basically requires remote code execution to 'prove' a challenge response. Sketchy and clever.

Currently token generation is implemented with a community solution, but this should be tightened up.

It returns a player response.

All you have to do is recreate the VideoInfo object if you want it to behave like getInfo (new YT.VideoInfo([ rawPlayerResponse ], /** any other required params... */)

 const playerResponse = {
    success: true,
    status_code: 200,
    data: JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(response.body))
  };

  if (!playerResponse)
    throw new Error('Player response not found');

  const info = new YT.VideoInfo([ playerResponse ], innertube.session.actions, '');

  console.log('Info:', info);
