It seems YT started another attempt at blocking alternative clients. They changed something in their API and both SmartTube and Tubular (NewPipe fork) are completely broken. Apparently it started happening this past week, but we personally just felt it today.

Edit: SmartTube already has an update but still not working for 4K videos it seems. Tubular still not working but it might be due to the upstream (NewPipe) is still working on a fix.

      probably a lot of people that aren’t you. but I’m glad you felt the need to rush in to state that you are not being affected.

      thank goodness you aren’t. i was really worried there.

      Generally, changes on platforms like YouTube are always gradually rolled out.
