Describe the bug

YouTube's "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" / IP-block error is recurring on the VisionOS endpoint.

​Over the last few days, error rates escalated from ~20–30% to 40–50%, and are now hitting 60%+, and is only getting worse/more frequent.

This endpoint had been running smoothly for a couple of weeks now, but YouTube appears to be rolling out new restrictions (possibly region-based).

Retrying a few times often gets the video to play.

Version

5.3.1-beta

Frequency

Sometimes (40-60% of the time)

Device

Samsung A15, Android 16 (One UI 8.5)

it's not a glitch or bug
it's a limitation if you didn't sign in
depend on your luck Google can limit your IP either temporary or permanently

Reliable solution is just sign in
unreliable solution ya just change your IP

when sign in We have to wait 10 seconds before each video It’s really annoying and tiring after a while
