Youtube This Content Isn't Available, Try Again Later

I’m having this happen now, tried clearing cache, turning off the shield and it would work but ads would get through (obviously).

Refreshing does nothing either.

Normally issues don’t persist long, but I have stuff to do anyway and lots of shows elsewhere to catch up on.

Should be fixed now @lemonpledge @RickyFuckingVaughn

That it is! Thanks! Much appreciated for the update.

This doesn’t appear to be fixed. I’m not using any ad blockers or other YT extensions. I’m running the current version of Brave. Still get the “content isn’t available” error. If I refresh the page, the video plays, so this is really intended to frustrate Brave users into using other browsers. Tried using Edge and videos play fine.

@edub52 what about the other things?

One of the things would be opening in private window is that it’s something of a test.

  1. Private opens with no extensions and no cookies. If it works in Private, then it can indicate one of those as a problem.
  2. Assuming it worked in #1 but then breaks when you sign in, then it suggests it’s the known testing Google has been doing where they are trying to associate with accounts. This has been an ongoing thing for years, such as you can see talked about on uBO’s Reddit page at https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1jbv1xn/youtube_ads_detection_breakages_2025_megathread/ or other locations.

Along with some of those would be like testing different Shields settings, changing which content filters you’re using, making sure using a different browser profile doesn’t work differently, perhaps testing on Beta or Nightly versions of Brave to see if it works better, etc.

No sir*, youtube must off heard us wrenching on stuff in there, and pushed another update. :laughing::laughing::laughing::grin::hear_no_evil_monkey:.. But, im running the experimental brave adblock ruleset so…. I’ll have pomder that later BUT; news:

i suspect putting some variables into the URL / yout00b API request URL will make Yout00b act like the cool kids do and just serve you the vjdeo content youre after, as I see requesting videos with their “at certain time” function works, seemingly, every time! No pun intended, lol. Mind you Im experiencing yout00bs suttle aggression notices in Desktop mode on my Android client and running in that mode seems to piss off a lot of servers, even making them think your DNS probing there site or something… So im not.sweating it.

So I hope that helps lol. Cya fren.

Same with me for more than 2 weeks, it only happens on my main account, logout or another account doesn’t happen. If I disable the brave ad block it also doesn’t happen, but the ads are back :frowning:

:tada: welcome,
This is is good input om the issue because it clarifies that youtube is discriminating because its unhappy about your login or something having t9 do with the way it processes your user agent..

Thanks for keeping this alive. My “fix” is null and void for anybody reading this, i can only say that my goto method of always requesting the desktop version from mobile returns youtube’s "we’re fresh out of bullsh*t to tell you, its just like, not here.

When you say “braves adblock” are you tslking ahout the standard adblock rules only? Giggles just wont rest until were watching ads from the inside our eyelids.. Oh… enjoy the Ålchemist: https://inv.nadeko.net/search?q=pWmh9rGFrGg

I found a fix, just go to brave://settings/shields/filters and click on “Update lists“, now it’s working without ads again

GTFO, it cant be that easy!?? Hahaha, alright Im heading to try this fix, but first;

On a scale from 0-42 how sure are you that this resolves the issue?

Still having issue. Refreshing (CMD+R) works but when it changes content (out from the queue) it requires manual intervention everytime.

It changes content because brave chops of parts of the URL’s that youtube* uses in it’s data API. It can be a little frustrating but it beats having all if their tracking doing exactly what it is designed to do, persistantly track. Brave has a well defined name for this, but ai dont member, its in the help documentation in the privacy ninja’in section. (as we say in the south)

Uodating your filter lists, using the button at the top of the filter list page is the best solution so far.

And:

*important!

This page, as mentioned on this thread, has everything to do with identifying you, and these things are intended for the wider audience. But you’re not the wider audience, they use chrome, and they log into their browser with their gmail like absolute maniacs.

Try nuking your site cookies if you need to, and try to log in on youtube specificallyz meaning, dont rely on being logged into google already.
