MODERATORS
YT changes were anti-bot in nature according to the extractor hotfix PR; I guess YT considers NP a bot or something.
To elaborate, while the errors in the middle of videos were because of general anti-bot measures, the errors at the beginning of videos were caused by a change that specifically targets third-party clients like NewPipe and youtube-dl. This is definitely part of an arms race.
