When generating a po_token using the quay.io/invidious/youtube-trusted-session-generator image, I had playback issues with DASH, getting 403 errors whenever I tried to play back. There were some exceptions for short videos, but the majority just failed. All the details are over there too.
I tried generating fresh tokens today in case it was some kind of rate limit. I generated two tokens on two different machines with different outgoing IPs, and noticed that the token generated on my computer that isn't on the same outgoing IP as invidious was twice as long as the po_token from the invidious machine.
The tokens I had generated before that point were 80 chars long, the new one is 160 characters. I then tried to generate some more on the machine that generated the 160 character token and got 80 character tokens again.
This could be a useful distinguishing factor as to whether the po token is going to work, though I'm not sure if others generally get the longer version.
I originally posted this as a bug on the invidious issue tracker.
