As a note: IIRC SABR doesn't allow audio-only streaming, so this will break when we eventually migrate to it. Though it shouldn't be a blocker for now.

In that case, wouldn't it make more sense to close this PR?

So all features related to audio-only stream will be removed from the app?

No idea, probably depends on how the situation is when we switch (i.e. if a method is found). But no one is actively working on an implementation.

So how does YT Music work?

They have their own API.

ytdlp and freetube works. yt-dlp/yt-dlp#13515

Other: etwoo/youtube-unthrottle@76b48d0

They removed "video only." "audio only" will remain.

**fix(sabr): Video-only playback is no longer supported
What a bummer...

At least they can't remove audio-only, since it's still needed for YouTube Music. :)**

Yt music has a function to change yt video to audio. This function is Premium 😂
