"Unable to connect to indexer"

[TGRubilex]

When I try to add Tubifarry as an indexer it gives me an error message.

These are some lines from the log:
2025-04-19 12:59:42.6|Debug|TubifarryIndexer|Downloading Feed https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/new-releases?limit=20
2025-04-19 12:59:42.6|Warn|TubifarryIndexer|Unable to connect to indexer

Do I need to host an instance of something? Or is it down temporarily? Any help would be appreciated!

I don't believe Spotify or YouTube are experiencing downtime. Are you currently using version v1.8.0 or v1.8.0.1?

From what I can tell, the issue seems to be related to the Spotify token, though I can't say for certain since I haven't encountered this specific error message before. The idea that the Indexer might not be found doesn’t seem likely, as it is integrated into Lidarr via Tubifarry.

It might be connected to this issue: GitHub - Tubifarry Issue #24.

I see, so for now you recommend I simply wait for it to come out of beta?

I would recommend waiting for a stable update or a later beta version, as this is the first release. However, I’m unsure how long it will take to achieve full stability. The Spotify indexer functions well in the beta, but I cannot guarantee reliability for all metadata-related features, including the default MB metadata.

nvm I figured out how to update it to 1.8.0.1
However I am now getting the following message:

This likely means that YouTube has blocked you and identified you as a bot. To resolve this, you may need to provide a valid potoken user data or cookies to verify that you are not a bot. Or wait as some days it works without a potoken and some days it does only work with one.

Ok I'm not the most knowledgable in this stuff, but I followed these steps to get a PoToken:

-Open YouTube Embedded (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ) in a browser. Make sure you are not logged in to any account!
-Open any video
-Open the developer console (F12), then go to the "Network" tab (click the >> button if you don't see it)
-Filter requests by googlevideo.com
-Click the video and play for a few seconds - requests to googlevideo.com should appear in the network tab
-From the most recent googlevideo.com request, extract the pot query parameter value from the URL

I did this, I interpreted the last step as taken everything after pot= until the & preceding the next value:

I put this as PoToken when trying to add the indexer, but still got the same error message. Did I do something wrong?

You also need to configure the Visitor Data, which is linked to the poToken and requires the same IP address. Since this manual process can be quite tedious, I recommend setting up the Trusted Session Generator from Invidious to streamline it and autofill the required fields.

Ok this is becoming a lot of steps for what was supposed to be a quick plugin setup. I appreciate all the info, but I'll have to try again in a couple weeks when I have more time then!
