Youtube error message: "An error occurred. Please try again later." (Playback ID error.)

[Vallex323]

Hello,
When I click to start a youtube video for the first time, the following error message appears:
"An error occurred. Please try again later (Playback ID xxxxxx)”, where xxxxx is a random string of letters and numbers.
If I refresh the page with F5 key, the video starts correctly, but this message is kind of annoying...
I mention that I have Youtube Premium account.
This error occured after I installed ”Win11Debloat MAster” and I think that this app caused the problem, as it appeared on both the PC I installed it on (home PC and work PC).
Yhank you in advance for any support!

Hiello,

this has nothing to do with Win11Debloat. Have the same problem on Windows 10. Problem occurred randomly, now nearly every first attempt watching a video fails.

Heya,

I don't know of any way how this could be caused by the script. I certainly haven't run into this myself.

I do see that this is an issue that has been reported before, and there seem to be some reports of it in recent few days. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1dlygfu/an_error_occurred_please_try_again_later_playback/
