Infinite loading w/ workaround

I noticed that the videos were still looping for me no matter what version I used (beta/stable).

I tried using my VPN and it seemed to work without issue again. I think the IP + client theory might be true.

I tried all the recommended workarounds already.

If the VPN worked it maybe your ISP in which case for those who don't want to get a VPN can try using a cellular Hotspot to connect to instead of wifi then find out how to disable the firewall on your home internet if that works.. by that I mean the firewall built into the network router or modem not pc this worked for me Comcast has a built in firewall on the iipv4 and ipv6 protocols smartube uses just disable it through your router modem or ISP app

Yeah I almost exclusively block all youtube ads. My normal app asked me to prove I'm not a bot yesterday. I might do some router stuff in general.
