bug(YouTube - Signature spoofing): Some clips do not start playback at the correct start time
Bug description
When spoof app signature is on playback is normal but clips will start from the beginning of the video. Turning spoofing off will fix clips playback but normal videos will stop playing after awhile as if it's trying to load.
I'm using the most recent supported app and had patched everything with the app manager.
Error logs
No response
Solution
Fixing clips playback while spoof is enabled
Additional context
I did see someone talk about something similar where their videos would stop but their audio kept playing. While my problem has the video stop completely I still I tried using the older spoof options that was suggested in the layout settings but I still have the same problem.

I don't completely remember, maybe last week? I think that was when I checked to see if there was an update on the version of YT it supported.
clip It happens with all of my clips and will only play back normal if I turn off spoofing app signature
That clip opens the video to timestamp 5:34:08 It works for me.
Repatch your app and try again.
I'll try repatching but can I ask if you also have spoofing on while trying out the clip? Because that's what's causing the problem between clips and normal videos for me. If spoofing is on videos play normal but clips won't and if it's off clips play normally but videos won't.
Just tried repatching and I'm still having the clip problem or video problem depending on if spoofing is in.
Verify you've patched using default patches, and version 18.38.44
Then try combinations of the following:
- turn on YouTube incognito mode
- use a different YouTube account
- turn on app version spoofing (Settings -> ReVanced -> Layout) and try targets 17.x and 16.x
- clear YouTube app data
Ok so tried a couple of these and found out that incognito (as well as off incognito) fixed clips I open through a link but if I go to the "your clips" tab and click on a clip I made it'll start from the beginning of the video. However, if I open my own clip but through a link instead it will play the clip like it's supposed to.
So it only happens when opening your own clips from inside the app.
If you'd like, you can turn on debugging (Settings -> ReVanced -> Misc -> Debugging -> debug logging), reproduce the issue, and then use a computer and command line tools to capture the debug logs. The logs will contain spoofing data, which might give insight to fixing the issue.
Install ADB: https://sodawithoutsparkles.github.io/revanced-troubleshooting-guide/04-adb-install/#steps Collect debug logs: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-integrations#-how-to-use-debugging
I'm not sure if I've done with this right. I've already had adb installed so after connecting I ran the command and wouldn't do anything afterwards but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to see something in cmd after pressing enter or if it's a file on my phone or pc I need to fine.
Make sure you first enabled android usb debugging.
You can verify adb works by using adb devices and it will list a device.
adb logcat | findstr "revanced" > log.txt
Creates a file named log.txt in the current directory. Post that file here.
The spoof logs don't give much insight.
I just noticed this clip is way longer than 60 seconds, and is identical to a video with a timestamp parameter such as https://www.youtube.com/live/DtqBdzv4LpU?t=5h34m08s
This will need a bit more research to figure out. At least it only occurs when opening from your own clips and not when opening clips made by others.
I'm not really sure how this all works but I'm guessing the log ended up showing the full vod/video instead of a clip because youtube doesn't separate a clip into its own video like twitch does. Instead it does this AB loop thing of the original video and saves that loop. I don't know if this is also why clips are playing in full when spoof is on for some reason? Again, I don't really know about that.
I think this issue was recently fixed?
Using current supported YouTube and repatched everything just to make sure, I'm still having this problem with clips.
Please send reproduction steps
- Enable spoof app signature (so that videos will play)
- Navigate to the Your Clips tab
- Click to play clip you've already clipped
Clips do seem to start as normal when opening from a link but I would like to be able for them to work when opening them the Your Clips tab as well.
In my side, Clips in Your Clips parameter start with kAIB and we already have a fix for it 🤔 @LisoUseInAIKyrios Can you debug and check ?
@YT-Advanced I don't create any content on YY, but you can check if you'd like (the original player parameters are logged).
The kAIB fix is already in place, so this must be using a different parameter.
Is this issue still occuring?
Didn't see this until now, sorry. I'm not having this problem as if updating to v19 for youtube and reinstalling the patches.
