  ...open youtube revanced.....on the top right go to your profil.....settings → ReVanced → Misc → default client → choose android vr or vision os, those 2 worked for me

I think I'm having the same problem: the player will be stuck loading forever when starting any video or short. It starts to play eventually, but it's stuck at loading for a good long while. Already tried clearing cache, reinstalling/patching, and I know my internet's not the issue because it happens everywhere (multiple networks, wi-fi and data)

I have the same issue. The only way to fix it is, use incognito mode or switch to different account. For whatever reason it does not work on my main account. On the other hand on my tablet with no uodayes done, everything works fine. Revanced manager 2.5.1, youtube 20.40.45

I also had this issue start recently, it only happens on my secondary account and not my primary account though, it also blocks me from changing the videos playback quality and plays at ~480p-720p

Im also having the same issue. Current phone: poco x8 pro max.
Video playback takes a good 1-2 mins to start. And even if it starts, it gets stuck again right after.
I know the network is not the issue, because on my other phone (poco x6 pro 5g) it works just fine.

Someone found the solution y'all should try this
...open youtube revanced.....on the top right go to your profil.....settings → ReVanced → Misc → Spoof video streams / Spoof player parameters - set to OFF

It's almost there, but not quite for me. Works great for shorts. With full-length videos, it'll play but after a minute or so, playback stops and I get the error "There was a problem while playing. Playback ID: [16-char alphanumeric string]"

This wont work, read the warning when toggling the setting

Apparently I see the same playback if error after a minute in. Hmm
