hi, can you tell me how you came out to find the fix that issue, i'm trying to radically change how it's managed and make it more resilient to youtube change when regex can't follow up. (moreover where in the /base.js look for errors and what to investigate first when stuff break)

Hey,
it would be awesome to make the parser more resilient!
I don't have time to make a proper refactor (and I wanted to get my instance working ASAP), so my naive / quick and dirty approach was to:

1. clone the repo and set RUST_LOG to debug in docker-compose.yaml
2. run it with docker compose up -d
3. check the logs, error was on this line
4. added debug!("sig function body: {}", sig_function_body);
5. asked claude 3.5 sonnet to fix the regex - provided sig_function_body, current regex and bit more context from the player.rs 😆
6. tested the fix on my instance, it worked -> submitted PR

Maybe you could get some inspiration from yt-dlp code?

But I'm afraid it will always be a cat-and-mouse game...

Invidious will soon drop the support for inv sig helper in favor of invidious companion (iv-org/invidious#4985) which includes a built-in decryption system so don't spend all your efforts on this.

Awesome news, thank you!
