I'm getting this same error, but unsure if it is for the same reasons.
Only happening the last week or so I think, and it seems to be whenever my internet source switches, going from wifi to 4G etc, the playback of any video stops and I get that message and a crash notification, I have to fully close the app and reopen it to resume playback.

[InfinityLoop1308]

@CodedNil yeah that's expected, see #671 (reply in thread). The same behavior will even make video fail to load in official app

@rafaelszp Can be a new type of blocking but needs more investigation.

I tried NewPipe also and it's working there. I hope this info helps to some extent.

[InfinityLoop1308]

@rafaelszp In that case you can try 4.1.2-pre2 as mentioned in #703
Without turning on compatibility mode it will use the old extractor in 4.0.2, which is almost same to NewPipe's but faster :)

[DrDustwolf]

Same error here...

@DrDustwolf restart the app /switch to other videos doesn't help?

@DrDustwolf restart the app /switch to other videos doesn't help?

I can watch a video after restarting and clearing cache. I will see if the error will reappear or not...

[InfinityLoop1308]

@DrDustwolf As mentioned earlier, YouTube now block any playback if you switch your network. e.g. You load the video in wifi but start playing in mobile data.

[jangolivre1]

@InfinityLoop1308 here's the link for the video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ho43Ph6Jhc

Update: I clicked now in the same video at first and it didn't loaded and said something like: "this video is over 18 age and needs to log in the YouTube account". I forgot to screenshot. Then I tried to open again the same video, still without logging in my account on PipePipe and then the IP ban message came back.

BTW, I am so sorry to saying this in this topic, but I don't know if I should open another one to say that the loading time of a video still is 14 or more seconds. In my LG K12+ didn't changed at all.

[InfinityLoop1308]

@jangolivre1 See #703
Can you test the same video in 4.1.2-pre2 ?

[jangolivre1]

@InfinityLoop1308 is there a file to download to test ?

[InfinityLoop1308]

Don't turn on compatibility mode, which is same as current version
