Same issue here, the returned playerResponse.streaming_data is undefined.

googlevideo/examples/downloader/utils/sabr-stream-factory.ts

Lines 173 to 182 in d2fa40d

	const playerResponse = await makePlayerRequest(innertube, videoId);
	const videoTitle = playerResponse.video_details?.title || 'Unknown Video';
	console.info(`
	Title: ${videoTitle}
	Duration: ${playerResponse.video_details?.duration}

	Author: ${playerResponse.video_details?.author}

Actually, the above fails due to a small change YouTube made to how Onesie requests work.

This project is a bit outdated when it comes to PO tokens, and some deps in the examples need to be bumped (like YouTube.js). It should work if you update the deps (minus Shaka if you're trying the player demos) and switch to an InnerTube client that doesn't need PO tokens.

Either way, I'll be fixing these issues soon.

Edit:
Same applies to the Kira project, for those wondering why it seems broken.
