Bump the pinned Shaka Player from 5.1.0 to the latest release. Only the shaka-player entries in pnpm-lock.yaml change; re-resolving the lockfile with current pnpm would also move @intlify/vue-i18n-extensions to @intlify/shared 10.0.8 and dedupe Babel, which do not belong in this change. All Shaka APIs and config keys used by VideoPlayer.vue are still supported (the legacy preferredAudioCodecs/preferredVideoCodecs keys are still converted, with the same deprecation warnings as 5.1.0).
Live streams loaded the watch page and then spun on the poster forever while the clock kept advancing. YouTube's live HLS is demuxed: MPEG-TS video plus packed ADTS AAC audio with an ID3 timestamp. Shaka 5.1.0 appends only the audio init segment and never any audio media; 5.2.x appends the audio on a different timeline from the video. Either way the buffered intersection stays empty, readyState stays at HAVE_METADATA, and no error surfaces because retries are unlimited. Live DASH is fMP4, which MSE plays without transmuxing. Load it with rewrite=false, as the non-live DASH branch already does: the proxy's rewritten BaseURLs carry host= in the query string, which is dropped when Shaka resolves sq/$Number$ against them, so every segment request failed with "No host provided". With absolute googlevideo.com BaseURLs the existing request filter routes each segment through the proxy. HLS stays as the fallback when there is no DASH manifest or no MSE. Known limitation: with the current backend, YouTube answers 403 to every live DASH segment about 30 seconds after /streams is fetched, so playback starts but freezes after about 30 seconds. That needs a backend/extractor fix.

- Line 616: Update the live DASH selection branch guarded by
props.video.livestream, props.video.dash, and MseSupport so DASH failures can
recover by switching playback to HLS; the load() error handler must trigger the
fallback rather than only record the error. Alternatively, defer selecting live
DASH until segment failures are fixed.

This reverts commit 6cc50bb. The live DASH manifest comes from NewPipeExtractor's ANDROID client, which Piped requests without a PO token. googlevideo serves its segments for only about 30 seconds after the backend's /streams call and then answers 403 to every request, so live playback froze after 30 seconds. The live HLS manifest comes from the visionOS client, needs no token and stays valid, so live streams go back to HLS. The HLS stall this commit worked around is fixed properly in the next commit.
Live streams loaded the watch page and then spun on the poster forever while the clock kept advancing. YouTube's live HLS has separate audio and video playlists. The audio is packed AAC (an ID3 transportStreamTimestamp tag followed by ADTS frames), but its segment URLs end in /file/seg.ts, and the server sends them as application/octet-stream. Shaka trusts the extension and labels the audio stream video/mp2t. Its timestamp offset logic for TS needs a TS sync byte, finds none in ADTS data, and so never sets the audio timestampOffset: the audio lands at its raw clock time (about 45,000 s) while the video is offset onto the playlist timeline (about 3,580 s). The buffered intersection stays empty and nothing ever plays. Rename audio segments (whose URLs contain /goap/; video ones contain /govp/) from seg.ts to seg.aac in HLS media playlists with a response filter, so Shaka handles them as packed audio and offsets them using the ID3 timestamp, and rename them back in the request filter so googlevideo gets the original URL. Verified on Shaka 5.2.12 in headless Chrome against two live streams for 60 to 75 seconds each: steady 30 fps with no stalls, past the point where the reverted DASH approach froze. Non-live DASH playback is unchanged.

694-700: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueGuard the manifest response filter against non-text bodies and non-ArrayBuffer data.
The filter decodes
response.dataas text for every MANIFEST request. It also assigns.bufferof aUint8Array. This works forTextEncoderoutput. Shaka can run the filter on DASH or other manifest bodies, and the decode cost is paid each time. ThestartsWith("#EXTM3U")check protects correctness. A cheap pre-check onresponse.urior the first bytes would avoid decoding large non-HLS manifests. The risk is low, so this is optional.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
