Describe the bug

Randomly and without warning, sometimes mid-stream playback, the application will report that the IP is blocked by YouTube and to try a VPN or logging in. When I visit the YouTube website or use any mobile android YouTube player, including newpipe or any of its forks, the video works perfectly fine. It Seems to be an issue with PipePipe.

After some indeterminate amount of time, the videos will work again on the same IP address.

I have tried this with and without a VPN.

are you using android vr endpoint? app version?

I don't think you will have this issue with 5.2.3 + mweb. Don't use android_vr.

Why was this closed? Its a bug report not a feature request for something to be implemented. Its incorrectly not allowing me to play videos because its saying my IP is blocked by YouTube - which it isn't.
