Videos taking 1-2 minutes to start playing each time

[TioHell]

I have the latest Revanced Manager and did a full reinstall for the revanced app, even with an apk made today with the latest patches, videos are taking 1-2 minutes to start playing no matter what, this started out of nowhere, was working perfectly fine until yesterday, i even did a full wipe and factory reset on my device today, and the problem still persist :(

Try changing to a different spoof client in:
Settings > Misc > Spoof video streams

Playback will probably fail with stream spoofing off.

sadly it was what happened, i went to bed and tryed to watch youtube on the revanced app, without the spoof the videos would load normaly but play only for 1-2 min max before it going in full buffering mode, and the problem is not my ISP, so i cant use the app like that, with spoof videos taking 1-2 minutes to load and start playing (for shorts too) and without it the app literally doesnt work :(

Turn spoofing back on.

Try using Android VR (no auth), and use incognito mode and/or use a different YT account.

just a update, it was the return youtube dislike the problem, i tryed to turn it back on just to test and all the issues happened again, so there is something very wrong with it and i am quite sure i am not the only one with that problem, so its something worth to check it out

That sounds like a different issue. Before you said turning off spoofing temporarily fixed it.

RYD API has been acting up the past few days. RYD is a third party service and ReVanced has no control over it's API.

RYD is only fetched when a video starts, and if the API is down or too slow then the API call is canceled after 4 seconds of waiting. It won't cause buffering at the 1 or 2 minute playback mark.

This sounds like an issue with your internet connection.
