Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm stopping proxy maintenance of net-misc/youtube-viewer, as I |
4 |
stopped using it due to YouTube's new requirement of having a |
5 |
private developer's key for it to function. |
6 |
|
7 |
Shared developer key is not a possibility (i.e. setting up a Gentoo key |
8 |
for such packages) as YouTube rate limits the number of requests per |
9 |
developer product key, and also considers them ToS violation, which potentially |
10 |
leads to disabling them pretty fast. See more details on: |
11 |
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/issues/308 |
12 |
|
13 |
I'm putting up a PR and dropping it to maintainer needed. If no one |
14 |
wants to pick up the package maybe we should also consider last riting it |
15 |
after some months, since YouTube API moves fast and old versions tend to |
16 |
not function after some time. |

Cheers, |
