Experiencing the same issue with some videos. All videos start with the 'Unstarted' state but then move on to 'buffering' and then 'playing'. But some get stuck on 'Unstarted', then the quality of the feed changes and then nothing - infinite spin.

When I copy the HTML in a separate file and open with the browser on desktop, the video does play. So the issue seems to be within the web view. Example of videoID that doesn't play: KP62zAyGXdY

@todd-patterson any insights on this? 🙏

I copied the code from the html template after the injection of the videoId and other parameters and opened that page with Safari in the Simulator - the video doesn't load! And I see these errors :

Would really appreciate some guidance on how to fix this @todd-patterson 🙏

@ankit0812 Hi, have you solved this issue yet? I can now play this video ID "HpkXAmGVaR8".

I believe it is something at youtube's end. For me also it started playing after a week or so. Might be something to do with their transcoding.
