I've just set up a new Docker and installed ViewTube. All looking good until I start playing any video, and after a few seconds playing, I also get:

_Video playback error
PIPELINE_LOAD_ERROR: An HTTP status code indicating failure was received: 403

Within inspector:

return n instanceof ae ? new Qn("PIPELINE_LOAD_ERROR",n) : Oe(n, {
    defaultCode: "PIPELINE_LOAD_ERROR",
    defaultReason: "Unknown error when fetching the Manifest"

Same happens with manual install.

Same here, latest version on Docker.

Any update on this? I have the same problem. Video play for 10 or so seconds and than I get a pipeline error

Any news on this ?

[JanJK2011]

I am wondering if this project is still alive. Because with this bug it's not usable for months now. Anyone got the scoop on its status?

Wondering the same, any contributor willing to give an update?

I think this has been abandoned due to this issue.

Just to make it clear - the bug is already known (see #2952) and project is semi-paused too (#3002).

Let's please respect the maintainer and his civil service time, without bringing even more stress

previously consolidated notes:

• everyone affected is running it in a docker container;
• even immediately after new start, no video could be played
• issue is independent of container running standalone or behind a reverse proxy like traefik (I just tested both variants and can confirm the issue)

in the other news, it seems like viewtube.io is affected as well as like some users mention it doesn't even starts.

p.s. one or several more comments will not speed things up, rather slow them down.

Finally this can be closed as duplicate of #2952
