Hi,
Not sure the community here is very active… Perhaps there is another place people use?
This may not be the correct place to post, maybe it should be at the mopidy_youtube extension page.
I am not sure what was changed, as I full-update my pi’s and my mopidy extensions (using python3 -m pip) nightly.
But yesterday playing youtube music just stopped. Throwing
mopidy[1034]: ERROR [MainThread] mopidy.audio.gst GStreamer error: Forbidden
Digging a little and I find yt-dlp is working on the problem. FIXED: [Youtube] ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden · Issue #14680 · yt-dlp/yt-dlp · GitHub Yes the dreaded: “ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden”
Update:
Temporary fix was implemented in yt-dlp 2025.10.22 (see link above).
Will still need to answer the question about Adding JRT dependency so that extension works in the near future?
From git above when yt-dlp has a fix it sounds like from: “…which will require an external JavaScript runtime like deno”
I wonder if the youtube extension pip package will need to add this?
