I'd love to know the stats of how many people are using the official mobile apps vs third party clients. Surely you're gonna break third party at some point that people just give up on YT.

Video Lite on iOS works fine.
Ehhhh they didn't break GrayJay.
Seems pretty broken to me. Nothing is loading now.
Edit: Although NewPipe does seem to be working fine for me, even without an update.
I'm able to use it at the moment, could be either my fallback settings or they're doing a staged rollout of what breaks things.
My settings are mostly default, and from a quick skim, there isn't much to change for that in settings, so probably a staged rollout. Thats how they usually do it anyway.
Do you have "Allow Loginfallback" enabled in the YouTube plugin?
I do.
Edit: Just tried it again, and now its working, so I have no idea what it is.
uYouPlus is working just fine
GrayJay still seems to work
Not on my end.
I got an update for the YT Plugin yesterday evening. Also; I'm in Europe, maybe it's a regional change?
I just tested it again, it still works here.
can confirm, still working here. EU
Probably at least some form of staged rollout. Its broken for me too, but I'm in NA.
Yay for Deno!
