The main clients are `web`, `ios` and `android`, with variants `_music` and `_creator` (e.g. `ios_creator`); and `mediaconnect`, `mweb`, `android_producer`, `android_testsuite`, `android_vr`, `web_safari`, `web_embedded`, `tv` and `tv_embedded` with no variants. By default, `ios,tv` is used, but `tv_embedded`, `web_creator` and `mediaconnect` are added as required for age-gated videos. Similarly, the music variants are added for `music.youtube.com` urls. Most `android` clients will be given lowest priority since their formats are broken. You can use `all` to use all the clients, and `default` for the default clients. +* `player_client`: Clients to extract video data from.

You can use `all` to use all the clients, and `default` for the default clients. * `player_skip`: Skip some network requests that are generally needed for robust extraction. One or more of `configs` (skip client configs), `webpage` (skip initial webpage), `js` (skip js player). While these options can help reduce the number of requests needed or avoid some rate-limiting, they could cause some issues. See [#860](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/860) for more details * `player_params`: YouTube player parameters to use for player requests. Will overwrite any default ones set by yt-dlp. * `comment_sort`: `top` or `new` (default) - choose comment sorting mode (on YouTube's side) diff --git a/yt_dlp/extractor/youtube.py b/yt_dlp/extractor/youtube.py index 46822cfde..224c9b988 100644 --- a/yt_dlp/extractor/youtube.py +++ b/yt_dlp/extractor/youtube.py @@ -3744,7 +3744,7 @@ class YoutubeIE(YoutubeBaseInfoExtractor): def _get_requested_clients(self, url, smuggled_data): requested_clients = [] broken_clients = [] - default = ['ios', 'tv'] + default = ['ios', 'web_creator'] allowed_clients = sorted( (client for client in INNERTUBE_CLIENTS if client[:1] != '_'), key=lambda client: INNERTUBE_CLIENTS[client]['priority'], reverse=True) -- 2.11.4.GIT
