9.0.2 getStreamingData does not return deciphered streaming data

[iBicha]

Steps to reproduce

  /**
   * An alternative to {@link download}.
   * Returns deciphered streaming data.
   *
   * If you wish to retrieve the video info too, have a look at {@link getBasicInfo} or {@link getInfo}.
   * @param video_id - The video id.
   * @param options - Format options.
   */
  async getStreamingData(video_id: string, options: FormatOptions = {}): Promise<Format> {
    const info = await this.getBasicInfo(video_id);
    return info.chooseFormat(options);
  }

Failure Logs

It looks to me that this function is NOT deciphering urls? I think, unless I missed it

Expected behavior

It should return deciphered streaming data, or the comment should be adjusted to reflect as such

Current behavior

N/A

Version

Default

Anything else?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks

Yes, the description is wrong.
This method will probably be removed in a future update, if you need deciphered formats you can try the example from the docs:

const info = await yt.getBasicInfo('somevideoid');

// or:
const format = info.chooseFormat({ type: 'audio', quality: 'best' });
const url = format?.decipher(yt.session.player);
console.info('Playback url:', url);
