Application

Revanced Extended v18.08.37

Bug description

The bug occurs while watching a video and the player after a minute or so turns black and starts buffering endlessly while everything else (comments, library, notification, search and so on) works but interestingly doesn't happen when you are logged out or in a different account but it's not a device specific issue as it happens on every device I have revanced or extended revanced installed (3) with the same symptoms.

Steps to reproduce

Step 1. Play any video Step 2. Wait for a minute or so

Relevant log output

Just have my configuration file as I don't know how to get a log file. Extremely sorry :(

This is a known issue. It's not the fault of RVX YouTube, rather it's an issue regarding micro-g. There's no solution other than to use a VPN service atm.

Thanks :)

Hi, sorry for bothering but the following method doesn't solve the problem. Guess it's a broken version or something meanwhile I will use the vanilla app

The workarounds are:

1. Use a VPN and is if it works.
2. Be a rooted user.
3. Start a new Google account
4. Use in incognito. There's no known solution other than these.

Hi, the VPN workaround doesn't work but I rooted an ancient burner phone (Samsung J7). And it works but I won't be rooting my daily drivers for now :D
