Did you try different video, on different device or network? I got this problem too where it stuck buffering no matter what quality or video/audio playback, it persists in Firefox, yt-dlp (i use Seal) and many other 3rd party apps, I can only watch said content on YouTube mobile or Chromium-based browsers

The same story. Android 5.1, 0.27.0, error 403 - forbidden. This problem occurs on ALL YouTube links.

I passed the NewPipe request through the debug proxy and repeated the request to 'https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player?prettyPrint=false' with all headers via curl. The resulting 'itag' streams (mp4/webm/etc) return "403 forbidden".
