Youtube sign-in error

DeletedUser69

Anyone else has noticed youtube not playing video? Newpipe gives just ontent not available, Libretube says sign in to confirm you're not a bot (even piped). Any other frontends out there you find currently working?

with Proton and from a browser, I also get the "login for my protection" message.
However, on NewPipe it is working flawlessly.
DeletedUser69 have you tried to "disable piped proxy" (settings/insances/proxy/'disable piped proxy toggle'
This would then fetch the content directly from Youtube servers, so maybe best to use with a VPN as indicated in the app. With this setup (ProtonVPN + LibreTube with piped proxy disabled), I am able to watch videos.

I believe it's a VPN/IP issue. Switch your server until you find one that works (presuming you're using a VPN).

pineapple153 In the meantime I have switched to Mullvad. It is definitely related to VPN, when it happens I just keep switching servers until it works.Thanks again for suggestion @DeletedUser202
