Thanks for the confirmation, where it happens for me for this subscription,
which requires adult accounts - which NewPipe anonymized long ago.

This is a similar issue reported three days ago, which concurs with us:
 *High chance of giving an error when entering a video*
 *where you have to click retry for an amount of times #11939*
 <https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11939>
 Opened 3 days ago

From that report, which was declared a duplicate, we find the main issue:
 *[YouTube] IOS player response is not valid error*
 *when loading some videos #11934*
 <https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11934>
 Opened 5 days ago

Which happens on the latest NewPipe release (Nov 30, 2024):
 <https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.27.4>

For me, for a few days, NewPipe has required a few retries, but up until
today I could finally get NewPipe to play the YouTube videos.

Now, today, I can't get the videos to play, although clearing the cache &
data allowed a single video to play but even that stopped working today.

I noticed 3 hours ago there was a debug version released by Stypox:
 https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18496526/app-debug.zip
 Name: app-debug.zip

That app-debug.zip unzips to a single APK file:
 Name: app-debug.apk
 Size: 20754104 bytes (19 MiB)
 SHA256: 9694B02E5C6B042076B0C8D434995162ABA0B53EDED089EF0FCC5F3EE6388FD7

That NewPipe debug version 0.27.2 worked just now in my first test:

Let me know if that new debug version works for you also please, 
as together we are far more knowledgeable than any one of us is all alone.
