YouTube: invalid iOS source response

[vladimmi]

What happened?

When I play any video and bot detection fallback was used, video only plays first minute or less. After that (or even quicker, just trying to rewind somewhere ahead) "Invalid iOS source response" message appears and video restarts.

I've been having this issue too, it started happening on a previous plugin version and we promptly got an update which gave us the additional message "Invalid iOS source response", but it didn't seem to fix the issue. If I can figure out why logging isn't working (I think that's a me problem) I'll update this comment with log info

EDIT/UPDATE: I turned my VPN off (Express VPN) and it started working. It still give the first "Using iOS Sources fallback (cached)" message, but none of the others. The video plays just fine and doesn't say anything about a block attempt.

I've also have the same issue, it started happening a few hours ago and when play the video gave us the additional message "Invalid iOS source response", but it didn't seem to fix the issue, and it restarts back to the beginning of the video.

Also suffering from this with YouTube, started a couple of weeks ago, the app is fully upto date and the plugin is now 196, but it's been the same problem on previous plugins too.

I reinstalled the plugin, but it didn't help.

Same here, can confirm that turning off the VPN fixes it.

This seems to be fixed in latest version (209) of Youtube. Feel free to open a new issue if you are still encountering this.
