[Bug] The video returned by YouTube isn't the requested one. (Android client) (VideoNotAvailableException)

[markozajc]

Edit by @unixfox

The issue has been solved, please update to the latest version: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/

---

Describe the bug
It seems like youtube is breaking something again, similar to #4498. This only triggers rarely (probably A/B testing), but I assume it's going to get worse as time goes on.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a video
2. Therr seems to be a rare (about 1/20?) chance of getting this error The error now occurs on more or less every request

[iBicha]

Yup, getting this every 5-15 videos or so
I wouldn't say A/B testing, more like a slow rollout that might eventually affect everyone, but done carefully to avoid impacting official YouTube apps.

[sunlightspectre]

yeah, im getting this issue as well. It seems to be happening on every video on my end.

Can also confirm.
Roughly every other video.

I want to agree with iBicha that this is a slow rollout of service-wide 'features.'
Potentially an attempt to 'unofficially' discontinue the API access through chilling effect.
For a workaround, I'd suggest waiting to see what they settle on before committing.

Provided backtrace, even though it's virtually the same as markozajc. Slightly older version aside.

[unixfox]

Like said in my edit comment for the first comment, please only comment if you have new things to bring on! Thank you!
We know that it's getting more frequent.

[UltraBlackLinux]

to kind of stop this flood of issues every time this problem occurs (a battle which will seemingly continue into the foreseeable future as youtube doesn't seem very keen on invidious using their services without the user watching ads) I'd suggest adding a button into the "you found a bug" screen that opens the invidious repo issue search with the error already in the search bar.
Also, I'd assume that people would be a bit less eager to report this probem if there was also a button to mark the video as watched and open it on youtube directly.
