To fix the buffering issue, enable the signature spoof toggle in the Miscellaneous settings and restart the app. (Profile picture > Settings > ReVanced > Miscellaneous > Spoof app signature, ON)

If it still doesn't work, update your YT ReVanced. To update, you need to patch the suggested YT APK and then install it on top of your existing YT ReVanced app.

(If you don't care about preserving your settings configuration, you can uninstall YT ReVanced and then do a fresh install of the newly patched one instead of installing it as an update.)

Guides are linked below for those that need assistance with patching. (Remember to update the Manager before patching)

• Tip for updating:

There is currently a bug in the Manager that it won't show whether an APK successfully installed when you use the "Install" button in the Manager.

Therefore, while following one of the guides below I strongly recommend that you export the APK that you patch from the Manager via the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner of the Manager after patching is complete.

Then go to your files app and install the exported APK from there. See my comment below for troubleshooting help if you get an installation error.

Additional info

Disabling the signature spoof will NOT fix the issue (although it may work for a short time).

Also, keep in mind that in updated YT ReVanced versions (which now use a new type of signature spoof) there are some side effects of the spoof, including, but not limited to:

a) Previews will be hidden while seeking in a video.

b) Videos will be added to your watch history when they autoplay from your feed. Disable Playback in feeds to avoid this. (Profile picture > Settings > General > Playback in feeds, OFF)

c) In-app downloads may not work (for YT Premium users).

You can see the rest of the known side effects and the progression that has been made to fix them here.

(I am aware that there are already several posts that address this issue, including the pinned post. However, I still wanted to make this to give in-depth information so that the community is well-informed.)

Was working fine a couple hours ago. Then it suddenly stopped loading videos and even thumbnails. I reinstalled everything, to no success. Thumbnails now load, but the videos do not play. Internet is fine, btw. The new installation process was much slower than usual. Microg does not log in, even though I received the Google authorization message. Any ideas?

So, the videoes on YouTube Revanced stopped playing a few hours ago. Whenever i press on a video it automatically pauses itself and can't be unpaused. The title, description and comments sometimes don't load either. YouTube shorts work fine. I have the most recent version of everything. Tried updating, reinstalled everything a bunch of times, I even tried three different accounts. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: Solved! What was causing issues for me was the app Regain, used to limit screentime. This has happened before to other people. I uninstalled it and now YouTube is working again. Other possible solutions are:

• Disable Picture-In-Picture feature in the app settings

• Remove the "remove background player restrictions" patch and reinstall Youtube

Today I tried to download YouTube ReVanced. I have microG and a full APK of the suggested version from the patcher, but YouTube doesn't open at all. I tried rebooting the phone (Samsung S22+), Force Stop YouTube Revanced and to clear cache. Revanced Manager is version 1.20.1, microG is the one from this Reddit's troubleshooting section, and YouTube APK version is 19.16.39.
