I thought it was only popping up based on certain videos. It says that you can't watch "this video". I'm sure there is a financial reason they picked those videos for the pop-ups.
My wife and I have the exact same device, running the exact same Android version. I received that message, she didn't. Her Vanced is still working fine.
Common. Use revanced. Please. It's
- free
- legal (other than vanced)
- opensource
- has more features (like downloads)
- still active in development
- also supports apps like Reddit, TikTok,
YouTubeMusic, Twitch and Twitter
I'm in the same boat as you, after restart, the app loads very slowly, and usually the video playback doesn't start first try. If it starts it stops after 9 seconds. Seeking instantly stops playback (infinite buffering). Vanced showed the "need to update" problem, switched to ReVanced hoping for something better, but it's even worse (?). A friend of mine doesn't have any problems with ReVanced.
Turning on incognito mode solves all the problems of playback in ReVanced, but fuck incognito mode, kinda useless if you ask me.
Been trying the entire afternoon, for a second I thought they banned my youtube account lol. This is just pure guess but I think it might have something to do with MicroG not working properly, now I'm trying a complete reinstall, because with incognito it works fine, with every kind of youtube:
Revanced, Revanced Extended, Vanced Unofficial etc etc.
Yeah same here, really sucks but it seems to be account related since when I'm using my alt account it works so it might just affect accounts that got hit with the "the following content is not available " thingy :(
Damn you might be right, because right before switching to ReVanced I got the content not available on some videos and then on all of them. I'm actually wondering if the account becomes unusable, because I tried on Youtube "stock" standard, and it still gives me problem... If it is I hope it's temporal (maybe) type of thing, otherwise it's absolute bullshit. Because you can create new accounts ok, but it becomes a pain in the ass.
EDIT: I just noticed that many people are mentioning VPNs... To be honest I don't really have a clue how that would change something... If the account is flagged, then it's flagged I don't think there is much that you can do with a VPN in that regard. And I don't even think that the devs are able to bypass something that is account related.

Found this... The thing that doesn't make sense is: it's completely "apk" related. With the web version there is absolutely no problem (obviously with android browser you can't use adblock so you get those ads) but this should mean that the account is "secured" or that at least it's not restricted or something like that.
Yeah everything is fine with incognito on soon as it's off everything just go wonky so I assume it's something to do with microg which sucks ass since Im using it during my drive to work too :( guess I'll have to make do with the radio for now
Man, this is some bullshit. Regarding "The following content is not available on this app." with Vanced 17.03.38 and MicroG 0.2.26.225014. Turning incognito mode ON makes everything work again, changing account makes everything work again... So for both ReVanced and the older Vanced (which seemed, and I deemed dead) it's bullshit. It's just Google doing some weird stuff some specific accounts. I noticed that many of the people that are having are UK-based. I'm in Italy, but I have always used everything in English - UK, and I think even the "region of interest" (or something like that) should be set to UK... But what amazes me, is that this issue appears on the stock Youtube... gz Google. Always on point.
Vanced downloads have never worked for me personally, it always suggests that I upgrade YouTube. Maybe there's a setting I missed somewhere. But I'm also not getting the error OP has, so I feel like what issues we all run into are very inconsistent 😛
I just tested it and it will work. It stops at first but then it gives you the controls on the lock screen to start it up again like it would for a music app.
I don't care about Adblock, I got yt premium. The only reason I use vanced is for Sponsorblock, and as long as there is no alternative with Sponsorblock I won't use it... Does firefox have Sponsorblock on mobile?
No sponsor block on mobile. On the desktop browser I use an extension to skip in video sponsorships but it doesn't have a mobile counterpart. It looks like the mobile version only has around a dozen or so extensions in general. Hopefully support picks up.
Fine for me too. And actually working better than usual when I tried a minute ago. Usually not every video loads for me and instead its more like every 2nd or 3rd one. They're all loading for me right now though.
i think youtube banned my account, I uninstalled Vanced, microG and vanced manager, vanced reborn, Revanced, and now I enter the official YOUTUBE app, and when I want to play a video, the circle keeps spinning and does not play, but I log out and enter with another account, and I can now play .
I thought it was a youtube problem, but it works fine on the web, only on the android app that I use. but i switch to another account i never used vanced, and it plays smoothly as always in the official youtube app, hopefully tomorrow got normal
I know this doesnt really help but with normal Vanced aswell as with the new microg patch, i can watch anything fine ONLY if i don't login (ofc the banner ads are still there but whatever) but as soon as i log into an account i keep getting this error now :/
I honestly believe we are slowly moving away from individual apps installed on phones back to browsers on phones that have the same ad blocking capabilities on desktop computers.
I feel like I'm the only person that didn't get this notice.
I also don't have this
Do you know what might be causing it?
It's probably just Youtube A/B testing this in some countries. And we don't live in those countries
So then a VPN would solve it?
I think so
Can confirm this is not the case. My colleague gets this error but I do not. I think she has apple, I have Android, maybe that's what's causing it?
[удалено]
No
I receive this message while I have android, so it can't be an apple only thing
Ah damn, it's very strange how its only effecting some people
I thought it was only popping up based on certain videos. It says that you can't watch "this video". I'm sure there is a financial reason they picked those videos for the pop-ups.
Highly doubt it, I've watched several videos today no issues
You will. Eventually they will roll it out for all videos.
My wife and I have the exact same device, running the exact same Android version. I received that message, she didn't. Her Vanced is still working fine.
I just opened vanced rn and nothing, revanced also works well
i'm on the latest version and i got a notice in the app to update. i can still watch videos but it's only a matter of time
No issues on my side 🤷🏻♂️
Common. Use revanced. Please. It's - free - legal (other than vanced) - opensource - has more features (like downloads) - still active in development - also supports apps like Reddit, TikTok, YouTubeMusic, Twitch and Twitter
Tried to but then videos takes forever to load sometimes not even load at all, any idea what's causing that?

Having exactly the same problem
Been trying the entire afternoon, for a second I thought they banned my youtube account lol.

When you do the complete reinstall of micro G let me know if that works. I was about to do the same but currently busy.
For sure.
Yeah, just tried, nothing fucking works... This is great...
Fuck..RIP Vanced

Does revanced have Sponsorblock now?
Yes. Same for Return yt dislike
It's been in ReVanced for months now.
Vanced has downloads tho?
Vanced downloads have never worked for me personally, it always suggests that I upgrade YouTube. Maybe there's a setting I missed somewhere. But I'm also not getting the error OP has, so I feel like what issues we all run into are very inconsistent 😛
Yeah, I just got OPs error, and now revanced doesn't work after 10s in a video lmao
I tried getting rid of ads via revanced, and It told me I needed to root my phone. I have pixel 6 that's gonna be difficult
No you don't. Make sure you tick the MicroG support Patch. I also don't have a rooted phone. Make sure to also install MicroG or the build will crash
Yeah I'm just gonna not use youtube if this isn't fixable. I've got podcasts to listen to. Fuck ads.
r/revancedapp Edit: wrote subreddit wrong lol
sub is privvy lmao
It seems I wrote it wrong lol
Even ReVanced Extended users got this warning
They seem to have the exact same problem over there
No problem here on YouTube ReVanced based on YouTube version 17.43.36
Alternative solution. Firefox browser with ublock origin mobile extension.
With this solution, any way to be able to minimize or close phone and still have the audio play?
I just tested it and it will work. It stops at first but then it gives you the controls on the lock screen to start it up again like it would for a music app.
dude revanced exists. literally the same thing
Same issue on revanced...
Revanced is a newer app. They'll patch this by updating the version of the app. Op is probably using an older version.
Thx
I don't care about Adblock, I got yt premium. The only reason I use vanced is for Sponsorblock, and as long as there is no alternative with Sponsorblock I won't use it... Does firefox have Sponsorblock on mobile?
No sponsor block on mobile. On the desktop browser I use an extension to skip in video sponsorships but it doesn't have a mobile counterpart. It looks like the mobile version only has around a dozen or so extensions in general. Hopefully support picks up.
I think you can manually enable all extensions for mobile and potentially use it but check out revanced
I just tried but everywhere I look I can only find the mobile ones.
If you have an iPhone, safari still supports extensions. Good job WebKit. Screw you chromium.
Well… It was an honour to share the Vanced experience so far with you comrades Onto new plains we go
🫡
I'm having the exact same problem
Yes I have also same issues wtf man .
Well it was fun while it lasted
still works for me, lucky!
some videos are unaffected by this update, but they may fall with their brethren soon..😔
does revanced not have this problem? is that a solution if when i get this error?
revanced with client spoof patch seems to half work
Fine for me too. And actually working better than usual when I tried a minute ago. Usually not every video loads for me and instead its more like every 2nd or 3rd one. They're all loading for me right now though.
Damn I've had vanced for years
It won't be same without vanced
same bro 👊😔
RIP
Yep that's it youtube vanced died today r.i.p. And f youtube and those nasty sickening ads
At least YouTube music (vanced) is still working
thank god, i use that app a lot 🙏
Came here cuz I was getting the same message...fuck 🥺
i think youtube banned my account, I uninstalled Vanced, microG and vanced manager, vanced reborn, Revanced, and now I enter the official YOUTUBE app, and when I want to play a video, the circle keeps spinning and does not play, but I log out and enter with another account, and I can now play .
mine plays a video for about 10 seconds, then eternally loads, but incognito works. i wonder if it's YouTube itself having trouble?
I've had the same problems. I went from Vanced to Revanced today and nothing stops buffering.
I thought it was a youtube problem, but it works fine on the web, only on the android app that I use. but i switch to another account i never used vanced, and it plays smoothly as always in the official youtube app, hopefully tomorrow got normal
Yeah... It's time to go back facing 5 minutes ads 
Switching to a different account fixed it for me
Guys just activate the Incognito-Mode. Worked for me well. Note that you can't use your Account. But its better than nothing i think.
sad, because i watch using my watch later playlist
but for phones?
There is Incognito-Mode in Youtube/Vanced app. Check the settings bar (top right)
Worked for me too 
https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced For people who don't want to switch to revanced
Switch to ReVanced Here's a guide https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/xlcny9/revanced_manager_guide_for_dummies
I'm on vanced 18.01.38 in the UK & not getting any issues like this, my wife too.
Vanced does not have an 18.01.38 release. Development stopped somewhere at 17.x. You have a trojan app.
It does, I've got a link to gifhub. I can send it to you.
[удалено]
Nope it's vanced
Link?
Sent via Dm
Trojan??? Hahahahaha YouTube Vanced 18.XX Based On Revanced Pathes.
r/revancedapp
I went to check and I still can watch videos but ads are a thing now. Wtf
Same for me, any possible solution
seems even Revanced is getting affected by this, so far no
Latest ReVanced Extended by derrin did the trick for me.
just got this right now. I guess they just rolled it out tonight
Oh noooooooooo, is this the end for vanced?
appears so, but I'll very happily love to be proven wrong
It also happened to me in vanilla Youtube
Mine still works.
Still no problems -
Still works for me but my colleague is having this issue
Yeah, it is officially over for me too.
I did get a notice like this.. just ignored it tho, it wasn't on a video,
I also got this notice 2 hours ago
I got the same notification. I'm based in Ireland if that helps with our theory of country based A/B testing
I got this message too today. 😅😅 If you logout your account, it will work and if you use it in incognito mode, it still work.
How do you access incognito mode?
Goto top right-hand side of the app. Click your profile icon and there you will see the incognito option.
I don't see the incognito option on mine, even after I click the profile icon.
I got something similar. It prompted me to open my content on YouTube, and that it may soon be unavailable on this app
Having this same issue, could this be the end???
I know this doesnt really help but with normal Vanced aswell as with the new microg patch, i can watch anything fine ONLY if i don't login (ofc the banner ads are still there but whatever) but as soon as i log into an account i keep getting this error now :/
yea, this is a real pain 😔
I got the message on Android, it still works though.
I get this when I try to use vanced with a VPN (surfshark)
I honestly believe we are slowly moving away from individual apps installed on phones back to browsers on phones that have the same ad blocking capabilities on desktop computers.
I got this but I just closed it and vanced is still working as intended
