correction : it’s not a minute. it’s 40 seconds.

I have the same problem. For me, it stops at exactly 1 minute and 0 seconds for each video.

The stream returns a 403 afterwards.

I'm wondering if it is an anti-piracy measure

I've been experiencing the same issue since yesterday, but disabling iSponserBlock solved it. I'm not sure if it's effective, but I hope it helps.

[theramzay]

Same for me, ~45 sec and this. Disabling sponsor block not helping either.

[Tommy0046]

Same here, did anybody found a solution?

Possibly related to this, I've been getting videos stalling at 0:00 and not being able to load at all, or videos freezing and refreshing 10-30 seconds in. Wasn't an issue on my old phone, but I just upgraded, and had to update uyou in the process, and am now running into this.

Same issue, any fixes ?

[Skoshche]

Same issue here. Video constantly buffers after about 30 seconds, more apparent on live streams where the stream will instantly cut out.
Spoofing YouTube version 19.34.2 seemed to fix the issue, not sure if it will be a long term solution.

[davidgcs]

Hey same issue here after last app refresh. It seems to be like one minute buffer and then the eternal loading. Did you guys found a solution?

[Skoshche]

Did you try using the version spoofer in uYouEnhanced's settings menu and trying 19.34.2 or other versions? Ive had no issues since then and have updated

No way that just worked for me! Thanks a ton!

Version 19.x doesn’t work anymore. A message comes up that the app has to be updated before it will work. Spoofing any other version doesn’t work either. Disabling Adblock and bypassing my pihole doesn’t work either

[Invictussoul-github]

Gotta spoof to v20.02.3, that still works for me.

Turn off your wifi so you can get into the settings in the Youtube app, else it'll be blocked by the message telling you to update the app.
