ah, I checked
looks like a valid issue

@laethy1 Did you just enable the spoof before recording? Because you need to restart the app after changing any of the spoof toggles in order to take effect

It was already enabled at the start when I patched the app

Could be related?

I also noticed that the whole video gets bugged if you let it hit 1:09, and the only quality options you can chose regardless of the video are 144p, 360p and 720p.

Nothing is certain yet

For optimal testing, please set up the following environment

• patch to YouTube v18.20.39
• turn on spoof player parameters
• change the spoof player parameter type to incognito mode

Test to see if the playback issue reproduces

[Spacellary]

I am also not affected by this issue yet so I can't provide feedback, but for those that are, please provide feedback when possible after testing as needed.

Also just for completeness sake report the version of YouTube and patches version you're reporting from now, and weather or not you're using the Default recommend list of patches.

@Shailesh2002 – We need testing with the Latest patches and in the YouTube version specified.

You need to update. Your version is very old and that's what is causing your issues. If you update it will very likely work fine.

You don't even have the fix for the issue in your application.

If you want I can provide an APK with the requirments for your testing that you can install without affecting your current application. Let me know and I'll share with you.

This is intended only as a means to ease the testing and providing a controllable version for testing.

I can make a Pre-Release version with the specific version and a different package name to make it available as necessary for testing purposes.

I've had this issue as well. I patched to 18.20.39 turned on spoof player parameter and spoof player parameter type. I have every battery optimization and data saver setting I can find turned off even battery protect (limit to 85%.) I set both the manager and apps battery settings to unrestricted. I still have the issue it'll run for about 3 minutes when the screen is off then stop.

[Spacellary]

@Qanaden The issue you are referring to is a different one, we are testing playback with screen on stopping after ~1m10s.

How is that?

Your issue seems to be this one: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches-template/issues/847

Idk I'm following the link I got on reddit in the post I made on the revanced extended sub. I have used revanced and had the same issue on there as well but atm I'm using revanced extended.

[Spacellary]

@Qanaden

Yeah yeah just saying you were linked this one, I might have been mistaken. Sorry if that's the case.

If you face playback issues let us know 👍

I am using the prebuilt APKs.

Just providing info, since multiple versions are failing at once, perhaps that could help with debugging. Otherwise, thanks for the speedy response and good luck!
