inv_sig_helper currently failing causing "The media could not be loaded..."

[Bobettemcnugget]

Hello,

We've had a brief chat about this on Matrix however, here's a quick recap of the problem:

Currently all videos on my instance are showing the "The media could not be loaded..." error while using Dash.

Example video ID used while testing: StrqBbYFViI

This is the errors thrown by the dev tools:

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The media resource indicated by the src attribute or assigned media provider object was not suitable.

The invidious instance it self shows all 200s:

inv_sig_helper throws the following:
