Since recently (last month or so), opening YouTube videos in the duck player stopped working. YouTube is preventing the video from loading with the message "please sign in to verify you're not a robot", which sadly kind of renders the whole point of the duck player pointless.
How to Reproduce
Open any video on YouTube. I'm uncertain how reproducable this is, as it may depend on country and account.
Thank you for opening an Issue in our Repository.
The issue has been forwarded to the team and we'll follow up as soon as we have time to investigate.
As stated in our Contribution Guidelines, requests for feedback should be addressed via the Feedback section in the Android app.
Thanks for the issue report. We’re aware that YouTube requires signing in when they suspect there is suspicious activity that can be caused by using a shared IP on a VPN. In an upcoming release we will be detecting this error state and providing better messaging on how to get around this (turning off VPN or watching the video directly on YouTube), but we don’t have any way to get around the root issue of YouTube blocking the video when their system flags the activity as suspicious
