Same problem，changing the client to ANDROID solved this. The problem with the web client may be caused by ytdlp issues.

That's actually really cool. Switched to "ANDROID" and everything works completely normal! Also "YTMUSIC_ANDROID" is working for me.

In FreeTube we have to remove previous player cache entry But only applicable to those passing cache when using Innertube.create Might be applicable to your case

the bug is not resolved yet, and for some reason I am also getting another error now when trying to run the same function with ANDROID client now...

Error: Request to https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player?prettyPrint=false&alt=json failed with status 404

@honzawashere Same problem of 404 i get with some clients including ANDROID

according to some sources, YouTube itself changed some scripts of their app and that's probably why we're receiving the unexpected token error. but about the 404 error, i don't really know what's causing it. in my case i'm logged in to account on my session and maybe that's also causing something but i'm assuming right now something changed with youtube's API, because after trying multiple clients i wasn't able to get it working!

InnertubeError: Request to https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/next?prettyPrint=false&alt=json failed with status 404 at HTTPClient.

also it's weird to see that it's trying to use "/next" when getting info from video imho. but let's hope it gets quickly fixed.

EDIT: this was my bad, i actually forgot to set UniversalCache to be persistent. i fixed it with iOS client

@binbard If you have the cache setup, make sure you clear the cache after upgrading.

yeah, after cleaning the cache and setting up everything again, the android and ios somehow started working for me.
