[YouTube] Add more parameters to InnerTube requests, use the iOS client for livestreams and fix extraction of embeddable age-restricted videos and contents with a warning before playback
Mixes seems to be not given by YouTube anymore if you use a PENDING consent cookie value.
As mocks needs to updated, the test is always failing because of this change.
Use the TV embedded client technique to get streams of embeddable age-restricted videos.
This client doesn't provide the playerMicroFormatRenderer object in the player response, but it is still returned on the WEB player response, even for unavailable (but non-private) contents, so we need now to store it, as we are replacing the player response from the WEB client by the TV embedded one.
Otherwise, some metadata such as the unlisted property, category, the uploadDate and the publishDate properties.
The outdated code for these contents has been removed.
Add the racyCheckOk and contentCheckOk to player and next requests to the InnerTube API.
The first doesn't seem to make any difference when used anonymously, but the second one is needed to get streams of contents with a warning before they can be played.
Also apply some requested changes, fixes and improvements in YoutubeParsingHelper and YoutubeStreamExtractor.
Also move the iPhone device machine id to a constant, explain how it is used and move the licence in the header of the file, and fix missing imports in YoutubeStreamExtractor (due to a rebase issue).
InnerTube responses return pretty printed responses, which increase responses' size for nothing.
By using the prettyPrint parameter on requests and setting its value to false, responses are not pretty printed anymore, which reduces responses size, and so data transfer and processing times.
This usage has been recently deployed by YouTube on their websites.
In order to use still use mocks with the generation of random strings in player requests, we need to use YoutubeParsingHelper.setSeedForVideoTests() method in every stream test.
The iOS client is only enabled for livestreams and the Android client is now only enabled for videos, both by default.
A way to force, or not, the fetch of both clients have been added with two new static methods in YoutubeStreamExtractor.
This is done by fetching https://www.youtube.com/sw.js for YouTube and https://music.youtube.com/sw.js for YouTube Music.
Two new methods in Utils class have been added which allow to try to get a match of regular expressions in a string array, or a Pattern array, on a content, on a specific index or 0.
Also some code refactoring has been made in this class.
The cpn param, aka the content playback nonce param, is a parameter sent by YouTube web client in videoplayback requests, and for some of them, in the player request body. This PR adds it everywhere.
For the desktop/WEB client, some params were missing from the playbackContext object, which seemed (or not) to make YouTube throttle streams extracted from the WEB client. This PR adds them.
Fingerprinting on the WEB client basing on the client version used is not possible anymore, because the latest client version is extracted at the first time of a YouTube request on a session which require the extractor to fetch again the website (and this may come back the reCaptcha issues again unfortunately, but it seems there is no other way to get it).
For the Android client, the video id is now also sent as a query parameter, like a 12 characters string, in the t query parameter, in order to spoof better this client. Researches need to be done on this parameter, unique to each request, and how it is generated by clients.
This commit also fixes a small bug with the Android User-Agent string.
Some code improvements have been also made.
The boolean keyAndVersionExtracted in YoutubeParsingHelper was not set to false when resetting the client version and the key, which makes the extractor uses null on the next getting of the client version or the key if the clientVersion and the key were extracted before.
Also update client versions.
That is, basically where the overriding function was missing an annotation from the base method.
Also apply renaming of emptyDescription to EMPTY_DESCRIPTION
