Description

I can't search for or download anything, when searching for a title, name or artist it just hangs on "Getting the song ready for you..."
Searching with any URL (you.tube or youtube.com/watch) never works and just says " Failed to load details for the entered URL. Please try with a different URL " I've tried on Firefox as well as in a Firefox private tab and on Chrome as well as disabling all extensions, nothing gets a search to go through

Expected Behavior

It should be able to download songs at least

[CaitlynMC]

update: I allowed to load on the "Getting the song ready for you..." screen, left the house for 7 hours, and it still hadn't done anything when I came back.
new console log after that: https://imgur.com/a/K3BwkGx

Can confirm, I've been seeing the same behaviour since last week...

Will check and fix this but I suspect the issue is related to the recent downtime (i:e Youtube blocking all 3 of the servers that access it).

11/26/2024 Issue has been present for more than 2 months now. Is there any update to fixing the software or finding an alternative server to access YouTube? Even just an update saying you're still working on it would be appreciated instead of being left in the dark.
