Starting 01 September Piped started giving this error after sign on and clicking on any video.
Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.exceptions.ContentNotAvailableException: Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.checkPlayabilityStatus(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:898) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.onFetchPage(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:784) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.Extractor.fetchPage(Extractor.java:60) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:77) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:72) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:67) at me.kavin.piped.server.handlers.StreamHandlers.lambda$streamsResponse$0(StreamHandlers.java:54) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:317) at java.base/java.lang.VirtualThread.run(VirtualThread.java:329)
Maybe it has something to do with YouTube being currently blocked in Russia (where I am trying to access it). Please, check if it is possible to fix this error and continue watching YouTube via Piped. Thank you!
Tangential, may solve anyway:
Yt-dlp gave me that same sign-in error instead of downloading a video. Google flagged something with an IP address, I think, because switching to another one in my vpn and refreshing the browser tab worked instantly.
Tried with Censor Tracker plugin for Firefox. Didn’t solve the error, still writes “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot”.
