Block Detected Attempting Bypass shows on repeat!

[RediTafa]

What happened?

I have been using the app daily and never encountered this issue as everything would always play ,i at worst would need to retry by closing and loading the videos again.
So today 20/12/2024 i encountered 2 videos that would show a message at the start when it was loading ("Block detected ,attempting bypass") that would repeat its attempts to bypass the block for exactly 4 times before showing a Media error popup that suggested i reload the plugin but that only restarts the loop! (Btw the videos i encountered this are Channel: Asmongold Tv ,Title: CNN just committed treason and Channel: Hits Different Clips ,Title: CDawgVA rizz Japanese woman by calling them young .) Hope this helps narrow the issue down !

Also experiencing this issue. Workaround: Logging out of the youtube plugin (didn't use clear data option, just in case)

[RediTafa]

That does nothing for me.
Another 2 videos have the same issue and its the second and third videos i tried to watch today so its getting frequent , Channel: Asmongold Clips ,Title: Who thought this was a good idea and Channel: DailyGoblin ,Title: PirateSoftware Ligmas CodeMiko .
Surprisingly changing to data from wifi fixed it for me 🤔.Like i change to Wifi and it blocks the video and i change to data without closing the video and it loads !

It is happening in 3 out of 4 videos i try to watch now so i can't use the app.
Using a VPN helps but i don't trust the free vpn though and it slows my wifi.

It happens to me with every single youtube video.

Tried logging out and forcing ump steams (with all combination)

I am also experiencing this issue. No Youtube videos work. I whould like to edit that it seems to work when i turn off wifi

I am having this problem as well and random video will start then stop and restart

Chiming in. I also have the issue with every video just attempting bypass 3 times until that Experimental reload prompt arrives and then it tries the bypass 3 more times over and over.

Haven't been able to find a workaround. So have to use the regular YouTube app atm... It's so much worse to use.

Looking forward to a fix, after the holidays lost likely 😇

Is this region specific? For me it's running fine without any issues. It an in India. It belive youtube is rolling out some circumvention in certain regions. Maybe everyone should mention their region in the comments.

AU/NZ Region. It is a sporadic issue. Sometimes requires closing the entire app to get videos to play again

Have watched on mobile connection since I first found this thread and commented. Without issues. But on WiFi on both my tablet and on my desktop (also wifi) nothing works what so ever.

I'm in the uk and it happened about 70% of video

On WiFi the videos don't work (no matter where) but with mobile internet it does. Maybe it's an IP based ban?
