[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

[nerdfacenyan]

Can confirm this occurring on my instance as well

[markozajc]

I poked around the latest youtube application with a sniffer to see if the /player parameters have changed again, but it seems like /player isn't requested at all? Is this normal?

[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.

[SamantazFox]

Welp, I just got one too right now...

[tracedgod]

Might have something to do with this post on their support page. A storm is brewing..

[eldaniay]

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

[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.

Happening so frequently that I can't even watch anything :-(
