The YouTube headers are now always added for requests to YouTube.
Previously they were only added for requests going through QUIC.
The session token is now JSON decoded to unescape escaped Unicode characters.
The comment continuation protobuf has been updated and the request now goes
through the YouTube `pbj` JSON API.
Redirect channels may use JS to redirect now, instead of only a response header
as it used to be. This fix reads the channel to redirect to from `ytInitialData`.
The `ytInitialPlayerResponse` regex can now handle `var` and `window`
assignments.
The video streams can now be extracted from `player_response` and
`initial_data`.
This fixes the descriptions on videos and videos themselves. Videos are
technically broken right now, but work becasue of a fallback that goes through
embeds.

The long backtrace has been moved into a `<details>` HTML element, as suggested
by @B0pol. To make the error still visible it has been added to the top under
`Title:`. This also encourages informative issue titles.
Since no new tags are created for releases the version has been frozen for some
time, with only the commit hash changing.
Versions based on the latest commit date make it much easier to identify them.
Error handling has been reworked to always go through the new `error_template`,
`error_json` and `error_atom` macros.
They all accept a status code followed by a string message or an exception
object. `error_json` accepts a hash with additional fields as third argument.
If the second argument is an exception a backtrace will be printed, if it is a
string only the string is printed. Since up till now only the exception message
was printed a new `InfoException` class was added for situations where no
backtrace is intended but a string cannot be used.
`error_template` with a string message automatically localizes the message.
Missing error translations have been collected in https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/1497
`error_json` with a string message does not localize the message. This is the
same as previous behavior. If translations are desired for `error_json` they
can be added easily but those error messages have not been collected yet.
Uncaught exceptions previously only printed a generic message ("Looks like
you've found a bug in Invidious. [...]"). They still print that message
but now also include a backtrace.
Now that themes are controlled with a class instead of setting
media="none" on the stylesheet link and both themes already being
duplicated in default.css for the automatic themeing it makes sense
to have all theme related CSS in the same place.
This commit also fixes the missing dark theme on embeds.
Themes are now controlled with a class on the body element.
If a preference is set the body element will have either "dark-theme"
or "light-theme" class. If no preference is set or the preference is
empty the class will be "no-theme".
"dark-theme" and "light-theme" are handled by darktheme.css and
lighttheme.css respectively.
"no-theme" is handled by default.css where depending on the value of
"prefers-color-scheme" the styles corresponding to "dark-theme" or
"light-theme" are applied.
Unfortunately this means that both themes are duplicated, once in the
theme .css and once in default.css.
The index was set to index - 1, causing the first video to be shifted in fetch_playlist_videos
(because of its index being -1 lower than it should) and thus not displayed on playlist page.
Using the player on latest Safari, the tooltip appears and stays stuck for long even when switching to fullscreen which is annoying. You need to explicitly click anywhere to dismiss that stuck tooltip.
This doesn't seem to happen in Firefox so I am not sure whether this is a browser bug, but in any case I don't see any value in keeping this tooltip so maybe we can just remove it?
In practice with the patch I usually see backoff to 2 hours when blocked, so it should improve recovery time. The lim_thread is to work with multi-threading, not sure if it's the best way to do it.
* Use new API to fetch videos from channels
This mirrors the process used by subscriptions.gir.st. The old API is
tried first, and if it fails then the new one is used.
* Use the new API whenever getting videos from a channel
I created the get_channel_videos_response function because now instead
of just getting a single url, there are extra steps involved in getting
the API response for channel videos, and these steps don't need to be
repeated throughout the code.
The only remaining exception is the bypass_captcha function, which still
only makes a request to the old API. I don't know whether this code
needs to be updated to use the new API for captcha bypassing to work
correctly.
* Correctly determine video length with new api
* Remove unnecessary line
* More consistent IDs for info section
More consistent IDs for info section: watch-on-youtube, annotations and download
* Consistent IDs: channel-name
* Consistent IDs: published-date
The term "published" can also be found in the answer for the following YouTube API request: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list
