bug: error "could not fetch any client streams" #3534
Description
Activity
Same issue. For what it's worth, you can close and reopen the player infinitely to continue the video; it will always let you play one minute of video before crashing. This bug does not effect Shorts
Edit 9/30/2026: I had originally tried turning Spoof Video off which did not fix the issue, then I turned it back on to spoof visionOS and now it is working again.
Reacted by Danilo CarvalhoI have this issue also.
I have the same issue
My YouTube is basically unusable at this point. I’ve tried every spoofing combination I can think of. Even visionOS, which used to work, now takes forever to load the video and then stops playback at the 60-second mark
I had the same issue and thought I was doomed. Then I checked the settings and turned off spoof video streams and it works again. It even says on the setting, it can cause the video to stop at 1m.
So go to revanced settings in youtube -> miscellaneous -> spoof video streams -> spoof video streams off

I have tried this and it 100% does not work
Reacted by peagravelTurning it off also worked only one day for me. Mine is currently working again with spoof video streams on and then set to android vr
The same issue started for me today
Has anyone tried patching a newer app version than the recommended one? I also get a "Playback error (App is outdated?)" toast
Reacted by Melvyn AKESSEsame，if spoof off，the video quality optional will be under 1080p with grey
Has anyone tried patching a newer app version than the recommended one? I also get a "Playback error (App is outdated?)" toast
Patching anything newer than the recommended version failed for me.
Might be possible if you just deselect all failing patches though. Didn't test that.I tried patching different newer versions of the client, reducing the list of patches to 4-5 fundamental ones. Unfortunately at least one would always fail (and what's interesting the failing patch wasn't always the same between tries)
Anyway, I've found these two repos:
https://github.com/Jman-Github/Universal-ReVanced-Managerhttps://github.com/anddea/revanced-patches
So far it's working out for me, it's not ideal (presumably) due to the recent youtube changes, but at least the development seems to be active.
Same issue here: playback stops at about 1:00, then the quality drops and locks at low quality (360p/480p). I captured logcat and found what happens, and I found an unreleased fix that worked for me.
Setup
- YouTube 20.40.45, patches v6.2.1 (Jun 02), Manager 2.6.0, GmsCore 0.3.13.2.250932
- OnePlus 15 (CPH2747), Android 16
- Spoof video streams on, default client Android Studio
What the log shows (failed runs)
- The first stream request (Onesie) fails:
YT.onesie: Fatal error occurred during Onesie request ... Response code: 413 - The spoof request fails:
StreamingDataRequest: Playback error (App is outdated?) ANDROID_CREATOR: 400 response: Bad Request - Sometimes the fallback clients also fail:
StreamingDataRequest: Could not fetch any client streams - The app then plays the stock stream. At exactly 60 s, playback fails with
ExoPlayerImplInternal: Source error ... Response code: 403 - The player switches to
currentVideoFormat=18(360p muxed). This is the quality lock.
In my tests, Android Studio failed with 400 on every load. When the Android VR fallback succeeded, playback was fine (93 s at 720p60). visionOS and Android Reel also stopped at 1:00 in my tests.
Fix that is merged but not released
MR !6983, "fix(YouTube - Spoof video streams): Preserve quality selection" (commite24b90b5f0399298e948a24a4cea00c9705bcc0d, merged todevon 2026-08-28), covers this case. It skips fallback responses that contain only SABR formats, and it was tested on 20.40.45. The newest release is still v6.2.1 (June), so Manager users do not have this fix yet.

- After (dev build): 8 of 8 videos played past 60 s, with no 403 and no drop to itag 18.
This is one device and one evening of tests. OnePlus also drops app log lines over a quota, so my logs are not complete. Please treat this as a data point, not a confirmed fix.

Request to maintainers: could you publish a release (or a dev pre-release) that includes !6983? Many people in this issue and in discussions #1496 and #1502 have this problem, and the only workaround now is a local build. Thank you.

Sorry, could you make a step by step tutorial of how to do this build? i do not understand
