oauth authorization stopped working for WEB and a few other clients. as much data as possible is now pulled from ANDROID to display the initial watch page. the same ANDROID response is now also stored for a short period to not repeat the request for video downloads. category is hardcoded to People & Blogs for now if can't be pulled, to fix whenever i can (prob around next week)
tv oauth loophole was patched out for ANDROID, disabling playback for most instances on hosting services. a new authorization method was implemented. after starting yt2009 - if needed - you'll be asked to sign in again. after following the onscreen steps playback should work again. additionally: - categories now show properly again. - viewmodel playlists on channels show properly again.
