Do you have YouTube's restriction option on? |
No |
Could you install a debug apk (for example this one), connect your phone to your PC through USB, open Chrome, go to |
Thanks! |
I have had this issue for a while. I think it started around the time the restricted option was added. No restricted videos will play and toggling the option does nothing. Edit: it's also possible it could be related to importing the config as is mentioned here: |
I've had this problem in the past, it's not a newpipe problem, it's more of a shadow ban. If you look into the settings of the official YouTube app, the restricted mode is enabled and you can't switch it off (button is grey). No matter what device or client I was using (official Youtube app, Youtube browser or newpipe), I couldn't see any comments (in the official Youtube app it said "the restricted mode has hidden comments for this video") nor watch all videos. The only way I was able to get around this was to use a different IP |
I've used different IPs and the issue still present when I connect from mobile phone. I can use computer with no issue and I can use link like this on mobile browser: |
You have any kind of parental control or something similar enabled in your phone? "this video is restricted" issue happened with me too some time ago. I was using the adguard family dns on my android which blocks adult stuff. I did not knew what was going on with some youtube videos being blocked by youtube and it keeps asking for me to sign in with Gsuit account. Later I switched to normal adguard dns and then I never saw such warning again. Edit : I just reproduced the issue you having with adguard family dns and I can see "video not available" popup with the youtube links you provided. |
I can confirm this was this issue for me. Changed it to normal adguard and it also resolved it. 👍 |
Can everyone else please try this so we can confirm whether this is a Newpipe issue? ^ |
I can confirm the issue isn't present currently with adguard family filter disabled. I wonder how a DNS issue has effect on what Youtube shows or doesn't. |
@Stypox We really need a FAQ. Close? |
Thank you @damascene ;-) |
When I click on some videos in my feed I get the Video not available - content unavailable screen.

Steps to reproduce the bug
Open any of those videos in Newpipe

Actual behaviour
It shows the unhappy face with Video not available - content unavailable message
I suspect that those video are somehow shadow banned or something because I see them in the feed but when I visit the respected channels I don't find them listed. I've noticed this issue two days ago with some videos.
Those videos and similar ones don't work in mobile browser and I see this warning in youtube.
Try signing in with G Suite account in mobile browser
on computer browser it opens without any issue.
I'm using the smart fast feed.
