LBRY fix: "Your hub has blocked this content because it subscribes to the following blocking channel:" #7782
Description
App 0.53.9; Daemon 0.113.0; Platform Linux (AppImage)
Playlist playback is stopped with message:
"Your hub has blocked this content because it subscribes to the following blocking channel:"
This LBRY problem has been caused in my case by the blocked video.
When one finds that video on Odysee, for example:
https://odysee.com/@YouTubeSucks:e7/Backstreet-Boys---I-Want-It-That-Way-(Official-HD-Video):6
There is a message:
"In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have blocked access to this content from our applications. Content may also be blocked due to DMCA Red Flag rules which are obvious copyright violations we come across, are discussed in public channels, or reported to us."
So the solution is to remove the file from playlist and find alternative one. But in my case I ended up in a state where the file was not in the playlist, but LBRY still complained about it.
What worked was to quit LBRY, backup file /home/user/.local/share/lbry/lbryum/wallets/default_wallet and open original file for editing.
Find that "bad" song (should be within section ""editedCollections": {" and delete its line). If that is last item in the playlist, note that it does not end with comma and others ending with it. So after removing last item, remove comma from the end of the line which became last one.
Save file, start LBRY, try the playback. Repeat for any other files that fails playback.
