Experiencing the exact same issue on MacOS with MPV as of today, I cannot get anything to play, I receive "Episode is released, but no valid sources!" on everything I tried.

allanime apis are currently down/not reachable, this is what the program uses to fetch the episode

[madss-bin]

https://cdn.allanime.day/all/manga/a10191a.js

specifically this part: ait y(e,{method:"POST",body:JSON.stringify(data)},t)}async function O(e,t){try{if(!e||!e.data)return;let n;const r=JSON.parse(e.data);return n="anbbpo".split("").reverse().join(""),r.data&&r.data.tobeparsed&&t.isClient&&(r.data=await Object(l.a)(r.data.tobeparsed)),r}catch(t){console.error("err parse api Result",t,e)}}function j(e,t){if(t){try{e=JSON.stringify(e)}catch(e){console.error("error json Encode",e)}return e}return encodeURIComponent(e)}async function C({query:e,variables:t,key:n,noCache:r,cacheTime:o,withAuth:l,noAuth:d},f=h,m,y,C){let k=function(e){return Object(c.a)(e)}(e);n=n+"-"+(t=j(t,!0));let _=!m,S=j({persistedQuery:{versio ofc this is just a snippet read shi yourself 😭

The failure was happening because the episode GraphQL call is no longer always returning plain JSON

Im also having this issue

The same thing happened to me. Already tested it on my PC and Android.

Thanks for sharing the JS bundle. After looking at it (and doing some unminification), I managed to get the AllAnime provider working again in my project that also uses this API.

What changed:

AllAnime now encrypts GraphQL responses for episode data). Instead of plain JSON, they return a tobeparsed field with base64 encrypted data.Fix: Add decryption for the tobeparsed field using AES-256-GCM.
Secret key: "anbbpo" reversed, then SHA-256 hashed.
Base64 format: first 12 bytes = IV, last 16 bytes = auth tag, middle = ciphertext.
After every axios.post to the AllAnime API, check if tobeparsed exists, decrypt it, and overwrite the data with the decrypted result.

This matches the exact client-side decryption logic found in their JS bundle:

Episode fetching is now working again. For now....
