[funsafe-ptr]

Vanilla, too, I guess. TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#11803

i see gonna follow up hopefully it's will be done soon

[funsafe-ptr]

It's probably YouTube acting up again.

[asandikci]

I could not reproduce the problem yet. Probably youtube doing smth. I've subscribed to upstream issue. I'll merge if upstream project solves the problem.

There is nothing that I can do. I'm not closing the issue for now because to not forget the problem

[funsafe-ptr]

Yeah, I guess YouTube is doing this in some countries. I can easily bypass this by changing my VPN country.

i know this approach since few days ago but of course YouTube will not let us go away that easily you can watch content with VPN but now there's a error like sign in to confirm that you are not robot 🗿

so my approach is:
pipepipe + sign in + VPN = work

[funsafe-ptr]

Yes, YouTube nuked it, not possible now.

I don't get 403 errors very often but If you guys get it often maybe It would be good to give feedback to latest CI build in NewPipe, see: TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#11955

[funsafe-ptr]

😔 I can't view the logcat without a computer. 💻
