malformed data error when using local backend
An identical error appears when trying to load most videos through local backend, the only things that change are the video id & the clipid, which increments by 9 everytime a video is loaded, even if its the same video. The error started earlier today, it was working this morning as I had music autoplaying all night and this morning, though it eventually shut off on its own and needed to be turned back on. That's when it stopped loading videos for me. It's not my wifi as the youtube app works on the TV and other devices still. The error persists after restarting the tv and the only fix is to swap to a Invidious instance.

Thanks, possible duplicates with https://github.com/iBicha/playlet/issues/701 and https://github.com/iBicha/playlet/issues/725 but I'm sill investigating why, I'll look into it
Trying to investigate a few samples of this error - it seems like some of them are related to post live dvr (aka, videos that were streamed live, but the live stream ended) I think Playlet might not be handling them correctly. Could this be the common thing between the videos that have this error?
Strangely enough, I only ever had 1 video play for me when i made that post, and that was a VoD of a livestream that ended hours before I clicked on it that was in my subscription feed. https://www.youtube.com/live/bqQcPrFBJyc?si=d8B7F9-cyJe98kqk
I also went back and tried the local backend again as of writing this, and it seems to be playing all the videos I click on now. No idea what changed, I hadn't noticed an update, though I hadn't taken note of my version number when I made this.
https://github.com/iBicha/playlet/issues/701#issuecomment-3505683450 I don't believe this error is completely fixed, but I'm tackling root causes as I see them, the error rate should go down
