I have a private instance and every time I try to search, I get the Youtube API error 400, when I'm not logged in. Video playback works fine. This has been happening for at least a month.
If I log in, search, copy the request, manually remove the cookie from headers and resend the request I get the original error.
I'm pretty sure something is broken in my configuration (I haven't seen this issue on any other instance), but I wasn't able to find anything regarding this in the documentation, example config file or in the issues.
