same issue.. video is buffering a lot
Most videos don't load at all

hey I was having the same issue earlier, I think the spoofed video streams are no longer functional as of a few hours ago, I disabled mine by going to settings > revanced > Miscellaneous > Spoof video streams and set Spoof video streams to off.
youtube might be detecting it and not allowing playback.

Can confirm.

It seems to be the case for me too. Shorts don't load either

I had the same issue and resolved unchecking "spoof video streams" option

[ThatOneBonk]

Disabling "Miscellaneous > Spoof video streams" seems to resolve the issue.
Edit: Playback stops after 30 seconds or so. Bummer.

Excellent solution.
Starting today my videos in ReVanced 20.40.45 started to buffer and finally play after 60 seconds or longer.
Your tip resolved my issue.

perfect it works, as a side effect you can't change video quality in a few videos with this method tho. (marked as unavailable)
