Additional information

I used bravepipe, but it's the same on newpipe.

Sometimes some specific videos get the error, some ither times the same videos work while others start to not work (which previously worked)

Please do not open issues for anything that is not NewPipe.

Same thing has been happening to me nonstop. It's so annoying.
