bug(YouTube - Spoof client): Playback speed flyout menu is missing

[MoTem]

Bug description

Playback speed button no longer shows up in the flyout menu. There is no way to change it currently other than by setting it in Revanced - Video - Default Playback Speed.

This issue appeared after updating from 4.7 to 4.8. No changes in default patches, and cache was cleared. The option to show playback speed was enabled and disabled too.

There is no playback speed button in the player.

Playback speed is in the flyout menu.

Yes I am aware of that. It is not appearing in the flyout menu, even when it is enabled. I am not the only one facing this issue, a lot of users mentioned this on reddit too.

Turn off client spoof , restart app and check

I'm able to reproduce this just now. Flyout menu is missing the speed option, for both spoof client types.

The speed button on the "premium controls" (premium feature) is present, but it does nothing and opens an empty flyout menu.

I'm experiencing this as well. When I turn off the client spoof patch, the playback speed flyout returns to normal. I'm using a brand account.
Edit: forgot to mention: I'm using non-root version.

This is one of the limitations we can work around with with #3197. I am not sure why the player request causes these issues because the player only returns player data and not layout instructions. What can be done is set the response type to json, check if it contains anything interesting in this regard. If it does not, that means we don't only touch /player requests. Perhaps YouTube is also caching objects so when we modify them with a hook, they may be used in a other request. Perhaps after the request is done, we could reset the fields we change and see if that makes a difference

Moving to #3208
