[0.17.4.0] Some YouTube videos give an error

I’m still a little wary of it all, they’ve been messing about with this stuff since before this issue cropped up based on reddit posts like I linked above.
Especially with how YouTube’s been treating adblockers as of late, I assume it’s tied in somehow, at the very least they’ve kept themselves a hard to follow moving target for anyone but themselves.
If tower could use the yt-dlp backed solution vrchat has that falls back to whatever the host has for codec support that’d probably be best, it’s one of the very few things they do right, and as a funny sidenote, due to a combination of things, actually ends up being in a similar boat with only vp9 WebMs being universally compatible across all host clients outside of YouTube videos.
As a side tangent, there’s a project for proxying jellyfin videos for playing in vrchat:

I was able to modify this tools config to specifically request vp9 and webm container to see if it works in vrchat and exposed a weird quirk in jellyfin(also in tower, the stream worked but would play at max volume ignoring all tower volume settings, requiring you to turn your global system or tower’s process volume down), this lead to them telling me vp9 was basically dead in the water:

So who knows!
