YouTube quietly switched to a new delivery protocol (SABR) that's been breaking players everywhere.
VRCVideoCacher now speaks it natively - so your videos just play again.
SABR streaming
- Real seeking full scrub bar, instant jumps, correct duration (late-join/resync work in VRChat).
- Up to 4K, confirmed smooth in-headset.
- The PO token YouTube now demands is minted and managed for you automatically, zero setup.
- On older Windows that can't decode the newest audio codec, it seamlessly falls back to AAC instead of failing.
Smarter dashboard & settings
- Required Tools health check every dependency verified present and actually working, with versions, live-updating as things install.
- Live status bar see downloads, provisioning and streaming happen in real time, with progress.
- SABR controls SABR-first or legacy playback, streaming resolution (clearly labelled 4K / 2K), all under a tidy Advanced toggle.
