Since there is no crash log, there is no context I can provide.
Try patching with YouTube v19.16.39

[NoMorePizza]

I patched with v19.16.39 and now the app opens normally. I wonder why v19.20.34 doesn't work.

Is it difficult to get crash logs? Do I need a rooted device for that?

[inotia00]

Is it difficult to get crash logs? Do I need a rooted device for that?

I assume termux is installed on your device.

1. Open termux and enter the following command:

logcat | grep AndroidRunTime > /storage/emulated/0/logcat.txt

2. Open RVX and reproduce the force close
3. Go back to termux and type CTRL + C
4. Attach log.txt

[NoMorePizza]

I tried without any success. Do I need an SD card for that? Because mine recently bricked itself.

[inotia00]

nah /sdcard means internal storage

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I'm also having the same issue and would like to contribute. Is the command for Windows the one given below?

adb logcat | findstr AndoridRuntime > logcat.txt

[inotia00]

yes

[inotia00]

Thanks for providing the logs
I'll reopen the issue

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

If possible, can you export settings and upload here?

I'm unable to open the app as the crash is instantaneous and I don't have any backup either for my YouTube settings. So I'm pretty much in a pickle. If I'm to uninstall and install v19.16.39, I'll have to toggle each setting one by one.

[inotia00]

This seems to be the crash log of YouTube v19.21.34 (unsupported version)

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

Also please specify which YouTube version the crash log is from

Log is from v19.21.34. I know the recommended version is v19.20.34 but I misread the issue #2070 and somehow came to the conclusion that the app opens in that version and hence I thought maybe I can open the app and import the settings if the app opens. But i was wrong.

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I can open the app with basic patches such as Hide ads, GmsCore support, Theme, etc. But if I add anything more the app starts crashing.

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I can provide my patch selection from Manager at best now or I'll have to downgrade and change the settings once again.

[inotia00]

Please attach crash log from YouTube v19.20.34

The two patches which are causing the issue for me are Fullscreen components and Video playback.

The version I used for the logs is v19.20.34.
Uploading my patches selection here:

Oh, I see. So it's not caused by those patches but because of excluding SponsorBlock.
