They released an update yesterday. If that doesn't fix it, please report your issues

Thanks for the heads up. I signed up for Futo Chat on Zulip and realized I didn't mention the problem was on my desktop client (MacOS). However, through your link, I found the update for Android. I'm happy with it, so cheers for that. For those interested, the Grayjay announcement on the 17th was: "Hey everyone, we've been aware of playback issues for YouTube and have been working hard to fix them. This fix is now released on the stable channel (and requires an app update). We are aware that age-restricted, controversial videos, or other videos requiring login may not yet work." We will work on this next week. The desktop release required for this fix will also be available next week. Here is the change log for the new mobile version 281:"

Edit: getting a UMP redirect fail issue on Android and can't play YT. When turning off my VPN, it seems to have fixed the issue. (perhaps temporarily)

Did it work for you? Didn't work for me but it seems to have worked for most people.

Nope, I'm getting the UMP redirect fail issue here.
