@MoojMidge
excellent, first page filled out with bd13ff4
Thanks for the fast fix

[MoojMidge]

This is caused by issues with the Youtube response (may be a bug, may be a deliberate change) and effects all third party clients that utilise the same API endpoint eg TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#10808, FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#4625, iv-org/invidious#4415, etc

Looks those other projects are choosing to follow a similar approach as MoojMidge@bd13ff4 I.e. just load the continuation, but that is not a proper fix and will need further work.

In some instances there will be no continuation to load. The only correct way to workaround the issue is to either load the video watch page and get the related videos from there, along with any continuations that can then subsequently be loaded using the V1 API next endpoint, or alternatively get the response for a TV client via the next endpoint but which won't have any continuations.

This was how @RNavega originally did it here in #508 (comment), but I was trying to avoid the multiple requests and parsing the video watch page.
