Watching a Kids profile videos continuously asks to switch profiles

resp.raise_for_status()

That’s kinda weird. I’ll take a look at kids profiles and try to see what’s wrong here

[dmunozv04]

I’ve been able to replicate this issue connecting to the TV with a “real” device (a phone), so it seems like the best option would be to detect if the client name matches TVHTML5_FOR_KIDS and in that case safely disconnect so it doesn’t trigger that weird popup.
Feel free to attempt to contact YouTube about this issue, since it also affects “legitimate” devices

[dmunozv04]

I've published a new develop docker image which should fix this issue (it does for me). Please let me know if it works for you @awanaut . You can use this image by replacing ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv with ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv:develop on your docker run/compose

All seems to be working! Thanks a bunch!

[dmunozv04]

That’s great to hear. I’ll go ahead and make a new release soon

Hi there, I have the same issue with Youtube Kids and the develop branch isn't fixing the issue :/
Thanks !

[dmunozv04]

thanks for reporting @Clem- , it’s possible that something internal in YouTube changed since it worked last time I tested it

[dmunozv04]

Could you please provide details of the TV/console device used and the iSponsorblockTV server?

[Clem-]

Sure, I'm on an Apple TV 4K and the server is running with docker on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Same happening to me on an LG TV with WebOS

The upstream fix made to pyytlounge in FabioGNR/pyytlounge#6 was released in pyytlounge 1.7.0, the workaround in this project was removed in the 2.0.5 release via f4fbbcd, but requirements.txt for this project is still locked to pyytlounge==1.6.3.

I think bumping the dependency version for pyytlounge to 1.7.0 should solve the issue.

[dmunozv04]

Whoops, that’s my bad. Thanks for catching it. I’ll get a new release published soon

[danieldabate]

Good catch! I can confirm this fixes the issue! I just tested it locally. Was going to submit a PR, but will wait for you @dmunozv04

[dmunozv04]

It looks like I had already made a commit to a different branch to update the dependency, but just forgot to merge it
