All of a sudden (May 10th 2016) the Android YouTubePlayer refuses to play certain music videos (VEVO for example). I know this has come up before and then gone away again but I wanted to know if anyone else has seen this change today and if there are any workarounds? I've seen others fix this with Webview based YouTube players but not with the Android YouTubePlayer. Any ideas?
How can I work around YouTube API embed restrictions like other websites?
If you check this project https://github.com/theScrabi/NewPipe they manage to play Vevo videos, i belive they use youtube-dl.
This restriction seems to be happening to most android apps that use youtube API, Shazam for example.
