Video load error: “Failed to load / confirm you’re not a bot”

When my device is connected through a shared public proxy (VPN), YouTube access is randomly restricted, but the blocking of specific items is inconsistent: some clips will work but may stop working if replayed, and items that do not play might begin to work several hours later. But the issue does not occur with the official Roku YouTube client, even when no YouTube account was configured on the device.

Thanks for reporting - when we fetch video data, we don't perfectly mimic an official client, so there's probably a threshold between "a lot of traffic coming from the same ip" and "this payload is missing a few fields, or have some values that don't make sense" which would trigger this error message.
I'll keep an eye on this issue, but honestly without a solid method to reproduce it, it's going to be hard to find a fix.
