An error occurred while fetching video streaming information.

Error while trying to load video: ResponseExtractionError(reponseType: YouTubeKit.VideoInfosResponse, stepDescription: "Login is required to get access to the video streaming info.")

Hello, thank you for raising this issue, can you give me the id of the video that causes the problem?

[RDiOSDeveloper]

The error is not related to a specific video ID. I get the error with any video I search using ATWY and try to play. presented view controller is getting dismissed automatically and "Login is required to get access to the video streaming info." is printed in console
thanks for the quick reply

@b5i I’m experiencing the same issue—when I make multiple requests, they get blocked. I’ve tried setting a session, but the requests are still being blocked. How can I link my app with Google or YouTube properly?

[b5i]

Hey guys, I now this problem has been around for months now and I've been trying to fix it with a few updates of YouTubeKit, but it seems to come again every 2-3 months or so. I'll investigate it to get a fix (probably temporal but still a fix) as soon as I can.

[b5i]

The problem with this issue is that the bug is difficult to reproduce, I've had it myself twice last week before your report, but haven't anymore. If this issue persists on your side, could you try to compile the last version of Atwy and tell me if it changes anything? Thank you

[b5i]

Hey, I updated Atwy with better error avoidance for the player, let me know if it works better for you.

@b5i I have attempted the suggested solution, but the same error still persists. For context, I am using macOS

[b5i]

Hello, is this a recurring error or are there precise videos where the problem happens?

[duythai01]

It's not caused by a specific video. It seems to happen randomly when I use it frequently over a short amount of time.

[b5i]

Ok yeah this is because YouTube "flagged" your IP. I know that poTokens are something that can reduce the number of errors like this, but this is something I still have to research before putting a patch with it.

Hi!
I'm also encountering this error when using a VPN.
If the IP address is blocked, the YouTube app shouldn't work. But it does work from the same IP address.
YotubeKit isn't working.

I guess YouTube's app probably has some way to figure out that the device behind the VPN is legit via a captcha or something like that. Will still update the headers in case it changes anything.
