Same issue here last few days. Within the exception details it shows a HTTP 403 status code.

[LuanHimmlisch]

Started to have the same error

[BF3newb]

This happened to me as well starting today.
Maybe it's interesting to know that other alternative YouTube players are also having this issue (SmartTube for Android TV).

YouTube must be cracking down on alt players. Seems likely, given the response code is 403 forbidden.

[Der-Flip]

Sadly, same here

Update!!! It now occurs to all videos and restart doesn't work.

Update!!! It now occurs to all videos and restart doesn't work.

Yep it started happening for me on all videos too about 10 hours ago.

Another change I noticed is, I used to be able to play YouTube videos in the background (including playlist queues that play the next video/song automatically) on the YouTube website using Firefox on android with the "video background play fix" add-on enabled (it disables page visibility API). As of a few days ago that previous behavior and experience no longer works. Now after about 10 minutes the video in the background stops/pauses. When I focus that app and tab I see a loading indicator and after a few seconds it continues playing the video. And playlists will no longer automatically play the next song. Seems they've updated their page to look for page interactions other than browser visibility API, at least on mobile browsers.

They've pushed some updates that hit us below the belt. 😂

[Ogloppi]

Yup, something changed on YouTube side. I'm having this same issue.

[tuxayo]

Shitty workaround: share the video from Tubular to either the UntrackMe app where you have a working invidious instance set.
Or share the video to Firefox where you have LibRedirect installed with a working invidious instance set.

[v1s7]

Same issue. VPN does not help.
