Video playback in YouTube stops after 33s or so seconds despite following all instructions

[SypherRS]

Like the title says, I have followed all the instructions in the announcement on Discord, I have the suggested Youtube version installed 19.09.37

I have the suggested microG Services / GMS Core 0.3.1.3.240913 installed and the battery usage is on "Unrestricted".

Despite all this and clearing cache / rebooting my my phone each time I installed it still fails to play. Screenshots attached.

I'm at the end of my rope

Please use logcat to filter for "PoToken" when restarting YouTube and send the logs here

[SypherRS]

if you could provide me with a command to use for this that would be great because I don't have the technical knowledge to use logcat... never done this before

[oSumAtrIX]

I recommend you lookup online how to use logcat, there's plenty of great articles.

Hope it's what you're looking for

[oSumAtrIX]

Your integrity token is empty: GetPoIntegrityTokenResponse{} meaning DroidGuard did not respond. Did you touch any settings in GmsCore and are you running a custom ROM?

[SypherRS]

not rooted running stock Pixel firmware. I did not even open GMS Core just when Revanced prompted the login in Youtube. Changed the battery optimization from settings cause I heard it's more reliable

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Did you uninstall stock YT using ADB? Or did your phone not come with YT preinstalled?

[oSumAtrIX]

The stock app should not conflict. DroidGuard is not responding with a token here. This usually happens if SafetyNet is disabled in GmsCore. Please screenshot your GmsCore configuration and send a recording of the following in one take:

1. Close all apps
2. Open GmsCore and close it
3. Open a terminal such as Termux next and run logcat filtered by PoToken.
4. While its running and filtering for PoToken, open YouTube in split view, you should see logs at this point.
5. Stop and send the recording

[SypherRS]

it's installed I can't uninstall it plus I always update it with the recommended version and patch from the list instead of picking the apk from storage. I disable it so I don't have a duplicate app in the drawer, but it changes nothing if it's disabled or enabled

[SypherRS]

is SafetyNET supposed to be on by default? I'll toggle it on and try before doing anything

[oSumAtrIX]

Yes it is on by default, unless you manually toggle it off.

[SypherRS]

I didn't.. for me it was off by default. it might just be that, but I have no clue why it was off. I reinstalled the app like 6 times today without touching anything inside

[oSumAtrIX]

Please record a video of how you download GmsCore and show how the toggle is off by default please.

[SypherRS]

it also didn't work even when toggled and rebooted

[oSumAtrIX]

Toggle the setting on and capture the logs filtered by "PoToken" as described previously.

[oSumAtrIX]

You have a PoToken and playback succeeds.

[SypherRS]

seems to be working now yeah. it just needed a 7th reinstall, but the toggle was off by default again.. Thanks for your help!

[oSumAtrIX]

The toggle state is controlled in the following manner: c753364

If it is not on by default, you should open an issue upstream.
