It is something we cannot affect. The mentioned examples are all situations, where the first video returned by YT search is not playable in embedded YT HTML5 player (old format or forbidden embedded playback, attempt of playback leads to error received from YT Player API). In such situation, we try to play next video from the search results, sometimes it is correct, sometimes not. |

re 0021776:0079557: not sure I understand the logic, but shouldn't there be any indication that there is a problem or I missed it. In this specific example, what is the real URI of non playable video from search result? For me it just feels it is just wrong video. |

You can see titles of all skipped videos in the context menu of playing YT video - Search results. These search results are out of our control, I have no idea why it returned some videos as a result. We don't have much way of knowing what is the right video (maybe just with an inappropriate title) and what is wrong, YT uses a lot more metadata for their search than we can see. The videos returned error 150 (forbidden embedding of the video, usually restricted by license owner or owner of the video). This error is not visible to user, as the search is hidden action and it would be confusing. We simply play first playable video found by YT search. The first result was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrtGmeIeWps So also not correct anyway, YT search did not find probably any correct video for some reason in this case. Note - we do use parameter "videoEmbeddable=true" for YT search, but it clearly does not work. It was reported to Google more than 5 years ago, no change... It seems it filters out only some kind of not embeddable videos (sometimes could filter out the only relevant videos), but some not. We can consider some toast message in case the YT video fails to play like this, but I don't know if it won't be too annoying and confusing. Rusty what do you think? |

Found out, that they marked the issue with videoEmbeddable as "Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)" (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35176082). I don't understand how this can be intended and what the parameter is for in such case, but it obviously won't get any better. |

All that is OK, but as seen in [Image.png] It lists tracks that are from "Neverne Bebe", but not a single track from ALL TRACKS listing is correct and also there is no tracks from listed albums above eg. "Adoration" is not from that band. It looks like it ads random sponsored tracks and classify them as "Neverne Bebe" |
|
|
It is algorithm done by Youtube, we can do nothing with it. This artist has clearly some setting, most probably license, which does not allow embedded playback, so the search returns mostly unrelated things. |
|
|
If you check those track properties does they return any useful metadata that we can compare or use Album Info that shows correct tracks to fill track listing? Almost all track listed under Albums are playable and found in YT videos (image.png] eg. like track 10 "Uzmi boje" from Album "Praštam" |
