Troubleshooting
This is a collection of common errors and fixes.
4 YouTube Audio track menu is missing
Change to iOS TV in Settings > ReVanced > Miscellaneous > Spoof video streams
5 Videos play with automatically dubbed AI audio translations
Change spoofing to iOS TV (item 4), then enable Force original audio language in the Video settings
6 PiP Background playback buttons do not work (pause/headphone buttons do not work)
This is a bug in unpatched YouTube. If the screen is locked then unlocked while a video is playing in the background, the PiP buttons will stop working until the video is closed. This bug is not present when patching older versions of YouTube (19.16.39).
7 Stable volume is not available
Stable volume is not available when using Spoof video streams.
8 Childrens/music videos do not play and an error is shown
A YouTube account is required to play most childrens videos. Ensure you are logged into a YouTube account and you have not enabled incognito mode.
15 App shows "No internet connection"
This issue can be caused by recently changing your Google account password. Re-login into MicroG GmsCore, or uninstall then reinstall MicroG.
16 How to use the ReVanced Manager
Follow the official guide to learn how to use ReVanced Manager.
17 YouTube is crashing on startup or redirecting me to a page after applying patches
You might be missing MicroG GmsCore. Install it. Or you might be patching a split APK file (refer to 16).
18 YouTube Watch history is not being saved
If you use a system ad-blocker, then whitelist s.youtube.com. Otherwise check your YouTube/Google account permissions and ensure your account watch history is enabled.
19 The player UI on YouTube does not go away
This issue occurs randomly. Currently, the only fix is to restart the app.
20 The Shorts tab button on YouTube is gone
Disable General > Navigation buttons > Hide Shorts button.
21 ReVanced Manager is crashing/not working
ReVanced Manager is still a work in progress. Before submitting an issue, ensure it is not duplicating an existing issue.
22 Google login does not work
Use a username/password to log in. Some devices may require temporarily turning off 2 factor authentication.
23 Links don't open in a patched app
Follow this. The process may vary for your device. You may need to disable or uninstall the unpatched app that occupies the links to set them for the patched app.
24 org.schabi.newpipe is not installed
Please install NewPipe here.
27 Installation is blocked due to conflicting with an existing installation
This implies that you must remove the previous installation to solve the conflict. If patching YouTube and your device is not rooted then ensure GmsCore support was included during patching.
28 SponsorBlock does not work
The servers of SponsorBlock are likely having issues right now. Review the current status of SponsorBlock.
32 YouTube or YouTube Music playback not working
If playback stops and buffers infinitely, or you get an error when trying to play it, see this Reddit post. For YouTube Music, see this Reddit post.
If videos on YouTube are instantly paused when you press the play button, you must disable Picture in Picture due to an issue with your OS/YouTube.
33 Common issues during or after patching
You may have toggled settings in ReVanced Manager that are not recommended to change. Please review the warnings when adjusting these settings and reset them to their default configuration.
34 No ReVanced logo after patching YouTube
By default, the patch to change the logo of the YouTube app is not applied. Use the Custom branding patch to change the logo.
35 YouTube Shorts still not hidden
