Edit: poking around a bit more and it looks like this is a duplicate of #3822 but TLDR: try changing your server's public ip and consider setting up IPv6 rotating IPs

[syeopite]

As noted in the matrix channel this is probably caused by the fact that YouTube changed their integrity check again which Invidious currently does not meet.

Please do not create duplicated comments.

If you use an older modified youtube app, then you see the same result - youtube replaces the video with a fake video displaying that this app is not supported anymore.

This started the same day as invidious started this issue. So i assume, that this has something to do with it

This is not related to the device that you are using. It affects the invidious software as a whole regardless of the device.

@unifox - does the "...(Android client)..." in the error title have any significance?

This is just related to the fact that invidious emulate the android app for YouTube in order to go the data from YouTube.

I didn't know this was an issue, I made a workaround PR that makes invidious use the HTML5 client if the Android client fails #4549

Locking the issue for now because some people are getting offtopic and the issue has been solved in the latest version.
