Reproduction steps

Open a track from an RSS/external audio source.
Press play, it won't work.
To add an RSS source:
Go to Library
Click Podcasts (chip below Library tab in header)
Click Add podcast
Choose Add RSS feed
Enter a podcast RSS feed URL, such as: https://feeds.soundcloud.com/playlists/soundcloud:playlists:432476748/sounds.rss

Expected Behavior

External track plays from YT music.

Actual Behavior

External resource shows a 403 error, followed by an info message stating that the audio outputs all 0's due to CORS access restrictions. (This doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox), and I assume is due to a client side CORS restriction.

I can reproduce this issue, but I can't figure out why - maybe it's a bug in Electron?

Would be great if we could listen to podcasts in the app now that Google Podcasts is folding into YTM. On macOS in this app, podcasts visually appear to be playing (the time/duration advances each second, play icon switches to pause) but no audio is heard.

Issue still present on v3.3.6 portable for me. Youtube made me move my podcast today since they are shutting down but Youtube Music app doesn't work to play them. No issue on music.youtube website so doesn't seem to be on their side.

This is probably an issue with the CSP headers being received from YouTube, the app needs a way to remove these or disable CSP entirely.

Just moved my Spotify library over to YT Music and found out about this app

Sadly also running into this issue with 3.6.0 :(

Edit:
Just added this line into the index.ts file and ran it from the console using pnpm dev and it started playing the podcast without any issues

(specifically after this line to have it neatly organized with the NODE_OPTIONS setting)

I've also tried listening to other songs and so far I've not encountered any issues

The protocol approach seems like the more elegant way - very happy to hear that it was an easy fix

Didn't mention it before but thank you and the team for making a nice, extensible wrapper around the YT Music app! 😁

I am getting this error now when trying to play back a podcast added via RSS and while it looks like it's playing, there is no sound outputting

MediaElementAudioSource outputs zeroes due to CORS access restrictions for https://pdst.fm/e/mgln.ai/e/135/chrt.fm/track/8E527/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/swap.fm/track/i7NUCPwi3tJP053nG6mP/traffic.megaphone.fm/STU8887385542.mp3?updated=1733727613

The podcast / RSS feed in question:
https://feeds.megaphone.fm/trashtaste

And yes, I just updated to 3.6.2 (was still on 3.6.1) - still happening on that unfortunately (or rather, happening again?)

In my synced-lyrics PR I had to fix CORS because the current fix was not working for me, maybe that also fixes this issue?

https://github.com/ArjixWasTaken/youtube-music/blob/synced-lyrics/src/index.ts#L901-L916

betterSession.webRequest.onHeadersReceived((details, callback) => {
    details.responseHeaders ??= {};

    // prettier-ignore
    if (new URL(details.url).protocol === 'https:') {
      // Remove the content security policy
      delete details.responseHeaders['content-security-policy-report-only'];
      delete details.responseHeaders['content-security-policy'];

      // Only allow cross-origin requests from music.youtube.com
      delete details.responseHeaders['access-control-allow-origin'];
      details.responseHeaders['access-control-allow-origin'] = ['https://music.youtube.com'];
    }

    callback({ cancel: false, responseHeaders: details.responseHeaders });
  });

Tried with this code in the master branch, unfortunately still getting the same error and no audio

Not sure why it was closed when I said it wasn't fixed.

It still doesn't play with 3.7.0 and throws this error in the console:

Still not working in version 3.7.1.0. I am using portable and trying to listen to BBC podcast or any of the MSNBC ones. I don't see where I can find the link to share within the app.
Podcast added from within the app by "Add a podcast" then find the podcast I want will work fine.
My podcasts were added "from a RSS feed" automatically by Google when I asked them to move my podcasts from the old Podcast app to youtube Music. I tried to find some of them on youtube music without much success.

Right now the msnbc ones refuse to even try to play. But BBC do and show these 2 errors in console:
GET https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/QMGuBJJ0EQ0/mqdefault.jpg 404 (Not Found)
watch?v=Bc7er_kdCuE:1 MediaElementAudioSource outputs zeroes due to CORS access restrictions for https://dl.iono.fm/epi/prov_4/epi_1516150_medium.m4a?p=rss

Both link change each different stream but the errors are the same.

I also experience this bug referring to a CORS problem - will append the error and link URL for further solution of the bug. Maybe that helps:
