Almost the same case but it has a 403 after close to a minute (0:58 0:59)
It happened yesterday for the first time and then worked again, today is breaking again, I'm trying to figure out and reproduce it more consistently.

This seems like a resurgence of #11191.

I'm struggling with this issue as well. Currently EVERY video will fail to load around the one minute mark, except when I play in the background. The issue disappears if I disable my VPN, but obviously I would rather not do so.

LibreTube plays videos directly from YouTube thanks to its local streaming extractor. Without piped proxy

However, this issue only occurs on DASH for LibreTube.
Mostly after 19:42. Nights

Maybe Solution: ReVanced said iOS spoofing didn't work well. Now Android TV is doing the spoofing. They had a similar problem too

Playback stopped after 1 minute.

This is happening to me but I am not using VPN and it doesn't even load the first minute.

Some videos load perfectly with no issues, others not at all.

I am experiencing an issue with video playback on my home Wi-Fi. On mobile data, everything works well. I noticed that the problem only occurs with certain videos:

Videos uploaded more than a week ago play without issues.
Newer videos (less than a week old) and very old ones (over three years old) do not play.
I tested different alternatives, but only the original YouTube app works properly.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot this issue.

For me videos straight up don't start playing at all. No 1 minute mark, it just doesn't play, gives this error instead.

SkyTube works with the same video on the same device without problem.

This is sometimes auto corrected. It's not exactly the same time, in the same position.

I tried videos that don't work on newpipe in the browser and they play perfectly fine. So at least on my end this does seem like an issue with newpipe and not just youtube blocking VPNs after a minute.

This issue happens to me when I play a playlist after a few songs.

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#11890 This may provide clues for a fix to this issue.

There are two issues. One is still not fixed.

This: YouTube is experimenting with some sort of new aggressive IP-based block on videoplayback urls - perhaps to replace or complement the existing "sign in to confirm you are not a bot" error on the player endpoint. This produces an HTTP 403 error on videoplayback urls, regardless of client and protocol (HTTPS, DASH, HLS, UMP, SABR, ONESIE).
