Trying to watch videos from my channel returns "Media Error" #695

Currently on version 227, but had also happened in the past versions.

Simply put, whenever I try to watch one of my videos (from the channel I am connected to on the plugin) returns "Media Error" (unauthorized error) and reinstalling it does nothing.

I speculate it has something to do with either:

the analytics and editing data and options that usually show up on browser Youtube
privacy related, in case of unlisted videos, maybe a faulty check.

Unlisted videos should be watchable without anything special.

Private videos you might have to enable "Use Login for video details". By default, we do not use your authentication to fetch videos for privacy reasons.

Enabling that setting will actually use your account to fetch the information, which likely fixes it.

Unlisted videos aside (which still do not show), the main issue was trying to watch the public ones.

Ironically, i managed to fix it by turning off "Use Login for video details".
