A lot of android apps made using YouTube music api stopped working. Like vi music, ri music , innertune is no longer working. Google is trying their best to stop them. But you can still use them if you log in with your Google account.

    Not really “doing their best” if they’re still usable. Would be pretty simple for them to stop others from being to use it.

        If you have to reverse engineer an API you’re effectively using a private undocumented unsupported API. Why would you be surprised that a private implementation has changed without notice?

        This basic programming.

          Idk if it surprises anyone, really. Besides, given those apps are trying to eat yt music’s lunch, it was more or less a matter of google considering them popular enough to take actively hostile measures… So, unsustainable in the long term, I guess.

      You can still use them if you log in . can’t remember if you can log in rimusic. But innertune has. Or you can try spotube for Spotify. Or go revanced

    Vimusic has been abandoned for like 2 years already. As for the others, there were issues for a quite while; besides, it’s not the 1st time yt changing some crap broke them. IMO, it’s about the right time to go navidrome + headphones + whatever provides recommendations (if you need those)
