I'm sure dev is aware.... Let's wait patiently

Same with me. Amazon fire stick was working fine then stopped working. Updated to 25.81 which is the latest and now getting response code 403. And it keeps saying applying a fix but doesn’t work.

Same issue with my ONN Streaming 4K Pro

I tried an older version 25.08 Beta and Stable which still functioned earlier without issues, Now they both are having the same issue you've listed, Appears to be on YT's side or something they've blocked

If you wait long enough the videos seem to play on my end.

Same here. Brand new Fire stick.

Pls note prior the last update smart tube was perfect, yet after installing the latest update of smart tube, most of the videos in my play lists can't be played, it states "please sign-in" thus no way to play the videos!! while it works well on YouTube?!! Pls advise?!!
Also, another problem, alot of videos at Home prior playing states "error 403 don’t close system fixing error" then video starts.
Pls advise what needs to be done..

Also, why after any update we face new types of complications?!!!

Awaiting your kind support & reply..

403 error with my primary account & also when not signed in but works fine with my second profile signed in. Hope that helps

Worst experience on smarttube for the past few days. Video was not able to load with 403 error loop coupled with 3769 undefined error. Update exacerbated the problem further. Uninstalled it and reinstalled 25.87 version which is doing ok but some vdos asking for sign-in & not loading, overall the app is working fine. A new update has arrived to fix the problem but I have zero trust on updates with this app.

[linajululian]

Smart YouTube all of a sudden stopped and getting error 403, nothing at all accessable.. what's going on?!!

[linajululian]

Plz not still can't access videos on smart tube despite it was working this morning & past 2 month perfectly, all of a sudden getting error 403 & doesn't fix the error !! Plz advise..
Thx

[linajululian]
