I don't think it's 100% ProxiTok problem Can you access this video from ProxiTok. And TikTok? I can't.

@NoPlagiarism If it fails to load the video it still would not make sense to load a different video right? And it seem like one of the 2 videos is the correct one.

On tiktok com with firefox I can watch the video when I go via the user profile page. The direct links somehow seem to be broken.

TikTok, one time, you will blow my mind.

I don't think it closes issue (because it's still strange), but use TTDown (you can select default downloader in settings)

Has anyone figured out what is happening here? It still happens and its not very rare.

I still think it's tik tok problem, idk how to detect it and how TTDown escapes it

Somehow it is yes, the watermarked download works fine tho.

TTDown fails to download anything so I assume they have the same problem but the bug in ProxiTok is that it serves a completely different video rather than error out. Its really hard to even track/detect the problem because of that. It could affect anywhere form 1-10% of all videos.

I recently had this problem come up again and it seems to be worse now (more videos affected). I can not figure out what is causing this so I made some hacky logging (without infringing on people privacy) to find video IDs that are affected.

So this is just a bunch of IDs that will load the wrong video. I hope this helps someone else figure out why this happens.

I tested these with different instances they are all affected but different instanced load a different (wrong) video. This bug seems to be only affecting the "no watermark" download option! Which is how I could detect these (different video runtime.)
