Feature description
Have InnerTune keep the YouTube content loading logic separately and automatically update it from Github on launch.
Why do you want this feature?
YouTube seems to have been changing how they offer content. They may continue to do so for any purpose including defeating third party apps which threaten their abusive business model. InnerTune stable releases take time.
Additional information
As of late YouTube has seemingly changed the way it provides content and this has caused a problem as serious as rendering the InnerTune stable release pretty much useless.
Since it's basically an online app, it makes perfect sense to at least call home to automatically update at least the most essential part regarding the Youtube connection.
It's been suggested to build our own release with the latest code or using the latest debugging builds, but many of us are not fond of setting an Android building environment, and the builds I particularly tried just crash.
I propose the YouTube connection logic is separated whether as an interpreted language script or a dynamic library, kept in the local install and that InnerTune automatically tries to download the latest version from Github. This way if YouTube ever changes the way it serves content, a fix can be rolled out ASAP for every user, including those of stable releases.
