Describe the bug
When I use my main account (tedecti) videos not loading/starts buffering after 8-12 seconds, but when I use any of other accounts all working fine, I tried many fixes (clear cache, clear data, all permissions, disable power saving, reinstall all programs, install older versions of progs, clear yt history, sets spoof app versions, restart phone) but all of them cant help me

I have this problem too. Since two days ago, my main account plays videos for only 10 seconds and then stops loading. But my other account works fine. Does anyone know the solution?

Clearing data & cache in microG,GMS app eventualy helps with buffering but you need to do this every time when buffering issue is appear.

this worked for me as a temp fix as the buffering comes back every now and then, but thanks for the tip!

Having the same exact issue. Only installed a few days ago, worked great, then exactly this buffering issue started yesterday.

forgot to mention, Im having issues on my Xiaomi/Redmi Pad SE , using com.google.android.gms-240913002-hw.apk

I actually tried installing all the different versions of microg including the revanced ones, but still the same issue.

On my realme phone, I'm facing this issue, but my wife has the same model but it's perfectly working on her mobile without buffering.
And for my surprise on my two other phones, Redmi note 10 and Redmi Note 7 also working perfectly without buffering even its working on my main account.
The only difference is both Redmi phones are rooted and both realme phones are not rooted.

To add some info, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. Switched to a new account after getting the buffering issue, worked for about a day, now I'm getting the exact same issue on both accounts.

Don't think micro g can fix since it's detecting the playback using a parameter that micro g must pass for YouTube to work, and also this only happens on non root version because of the extra workaround it needs to do, revanced team currently working on a fix using new pipe extractor it's kinda working, you can use it in the dev builds of inotia00 of revanced patches
Edit: it seems like there's the same problem but with regular yt app, here I'm only talking about revanced

.

Yes you're correct.

Answer 14 · 2024-05-25T17:01:39.000Z

Is there a working solution to this issue yet?

Answer 15 · 2024-05-25T17:51:03.000Z

Latest revanced patches fixes this issue(mostly)

Answer 16 · 2024-05-26T05:28:14.000Z

Yes, THIS problem got fixed for me now with the new patches v4.8.1 and v4.8.2. But now the history is not tracked anymore... is this related? I did what they recommended: cleared, deleted and reinstalled microg/revancedmanager/revanced. Did the patch again, restarted, but no help. Just changing the YouTube account helps. The account is somehow spoiled?

You are probably using a brand account, they are working on a fix
