Edit: for anyone having the same issue, post the error log and mention if you have logged in.
Edit2: solution: Log out -> force close(If you not familiar with that, restart the phone) -> restart, make sure you are not logging in when you open the app

does that happen on every video?

[jzzunl]

does that happen on every video?

Yes

[jzzunl]

Appears to be a remnant of a setting from when i moved from bravenewpipe
Exporting everything then reimporting without settings fixed it
Not sure if i should close this thread though

[AlexRulesVGCP]

same thing happened to me, the youtube account causes the bug

[InfinityLoop1308]

@AlexRulesVGCP You also imported setting from bravenewpipe?

Yeah I think it's expected as we are not fully compatible with NewPipe.

[AlexRulesVGCP]

You also imported setting from bravenewpipe?

no

[InfinityLoop1308]

You also imported setting from bravenewpipe?

no

So you meet the problem, and after log out the problem solved? That's strange.

[InfinityLoop1308]

Can you share your error report?

(Forgot to log back in and got 429'd on wifi)
