[BlueStarBRS]

[Vankers]

Me too

[kazimmt]

Isn't it duplicate of #1870

[ale5000-git]

I'm not sure but maybe it is related to the missing headers reported in #1835

[Ran-Mewo]

I am having this issue too
although it doesn't seem like #1870 since the video loads and plays but after some seconds/minutes it stops working
and I don't really know how this is related #1835

[JwanKaro]

That's sadly not the case.

[preetmungara]

It's coming on my normal account in original application also.

[de-gozaru]

yes, I can confirm, the original youtube application has the same issue now!

[JwanKaro]

Well, this is gonna take a while to get fixed, I wrote myself a little script, that extracts all my subscription and resubscribe to them in my working account..

[griffi-gh]

stop opening duplicate issues

Could I have such a script?

Sure buddy, but this only works on browser with console.
Because you have to manually copy the url of channels you subscribed to, there is a small snippet, that does exactly that.

It's not a pretty code nor perfect. It's just cobbled together code with simple instructions.

Here is the “script” with instructions

A #potential #fix that worked for me, is by setting a YouTube user id or handle.

How to set a YouTube handle

Or it could be, that I'm in a new location.

Mine miraculously works again. It could be because I live in the Netherlands, or cuz I:

1. Deleted MicroG and ReVanced
2. Logged in to my Google account on my browser.
3. Deleted MicroG from my devices (with a bit of looking around).
4. Reinstalled MicroG and ReVanced.
5. Logged in again

It didn't work right away but like a few hours later. I hope this helps!

I found that the problem happened in my original app only if I had Vanced running in the background. If I completely quit Vanced then the original app worked without issue.

didn't work for me unfortunately

[jimmylad]

I didn't use MicroG and ReVanced for a week and I came back to it this week and magically everything is working OK again. I'm in France on a UK account. I haven't reinstalled or changed anything.

[JwanKaro]

Well, it's a wifi problem.
When I use my Mobile Data it works, but on a wifi connection it doesn't.

[KibSquib48]

could it be related to the quality settings? by default it loads lower quality on mobile data

[JwanKaro]

That is sadly not the case; on mobile and wifi the quality ist 720p. I've a 100 Mb/s on wifi and 2 Mb/s on mobile.

[jimmylad]

Works fine for me on both Wifi and mobile

Does it maybe have something todo with the microg version? I have vanced micro G which was installed before from using vanced. I update it to the last version with the vanced manager. I guess there is a non vanced microg version but i did not find a offial APK for it.

You can find it on there GitHub page, even if you installed it. YouTube revanced won't work with the official one.

MicroG

[jonas-resch]

For me it seems to work again with the newest official YouTube app version 18.20.34 (downloaded via the Aurora Store) on the following devices:

• Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Wifi with microG LineageOS build (LOS: 20-20230411-microG-gts4lvwifi, microG 0.2.27.223616)
• Google Pixel 3 with microG LineageOS build (LOS: 19-20230314-microG-blueline, microG: 0.2.27.223616)

Edit: it didn't work before I did the Youtube app update. Videos got stuck after ~38-40s. Youtube Shorts worked without an issue.

[Goscomat]

After Jonas' reply I was excited to try it out. The first video did play, so I assumed it was fixed. But now it gets stuck at 40 seconds again. I'm on e OS with the same version of MicroG.

[jonas-resch]

@Goscomat idk what spell I cast yesterday, today it doesn't work anymore... Sorry for giving you hope 😅

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

If you're a ReVanced/RVX user, there's already a fix available for this. Please patch again and read the instructions. If you're a stock YouTube user, well stay here for a fix I guess.

[BlueStarBRS]

What bs you're talkin 😂

[BlueStarBRS]

Im closing the issue only bs im reading here the original problem is fixed and Mirco g got replaced with a new one.

[jonas-resch]

It hasn't been fixed for the original microg. There's only a workaround which involves using ReVanced and the ReVanced fork of microg.

I think that this issue should be fixed in the original microg too. Since it affects the original microg in combination with the stock, unpatched YouTube app.
