This happens to me too (live in the UK). This link has a couple of solutions: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/yik64n/help_thread_infinite_loading_this_might_interest/

I used the replay one and it works well enough.

This has been happening to me for years but only sometimes. Even on the original YouTube app, on every single device I've used in the past few years, and even on the desktop site on PC.

Thank you u/gooner712004, for posting on r/revancedapp!

Wtf okay this is the REAL fix! Thank you! Weird it's not on by default

Go Revanced specific settings > miscellaneous > fix video playback issues. Had the same problem and was using a vpn to work around it. The whole time this setting was there🤦🏾‍♂️

I'm using the inotia00 Vanced MicroG APK, YouTube APK v17.43.36 and I'm using the latest manager (0.0.39) 

Every time I want to watch a video, I have to press on a video, close it down, then press it again? I had this with an earlier version, which is why I kept using Vanced but that required me to use a VPN to work in the UK.

Once that stopped working, I've tried upgrading again to a more up to date version of ReVanced where I also replaced the MicroG with the inotia00 version, and I'm getting this issue both times I've tried ReVanced.

Is it something to do with a patcher I've installed? Is there one that causes these problems?

Does anyone else have the issue where they need to play a video, close it, and then play it again to get it to work?
