Hi LC people,
For my LC application "Music in the Air" I’m using the browser widget (of
LiveCode 10.0.0) to play YouTube videos in an iFrame following their API. I’m
also using JavaScript handlers to control the YT video player—play, pause,
currentTime, seek, etc. The works great on MacOS.
However, when doing the same thing in Windows 11, when the YouTube video starts
to load, the player shows an error:
Error 153, Video player configuration error.
YouTube’s iFrame Player API doc explains:
Error 153 – The request does not include the HTTP Referer header or
equivalent API Client identification. See API Client Identity and Credentials
for more information.
That page:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum-functionality#embedded-player-api-client-identity
explains:
"API Clients that use the YouTube embedded player (including the
YouTube IFrame Player API) must provide identification through the HTTP Referer
request header. In some environments, the browser will automatically set HTTP
Referer, and API Clients need only ensure they are not setting the
Referrer-Policy in a way that suppresses the Referer value. YouTube recommends
using strict-origin-when-cross-origin Referrer-Policy, which is already the
default in many browsers."
Now, I’m supposing that the MacOS LC browser widget of LiveCode 10 has the HTTP
Referer request header set, and the Windows widget does not.
Can that header be set in my HTML/JavaScript? And what would that header say?
I also suppose that the YouTube widget that’s part of LiveCode 11 has this
taken care of. However that widget doesn’t have the interactive player
functionality that I need, and right now the LiveCode player control in LC 11
doesn’t work reliably, and there are other issues with the player call backs in
versions of LC 10 beyond the first release that force me to use ONLY 10.0.0.
Is there an updated LC 10 browser widget for Windows that has this fixed?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
