Confirmed fix here as well.
- Shield TV
- 26.95 stable
v26.95 stable Tested on latest Fire TV Cube and 403 ERROR is resolved looks like a new version smarttube is required every 6-8 days maximum as that is about when this Error 403 begins to happen with each and every new version that is released . Thanks for the temp. fix it works : )
I have both the 26.95 stable and 26.95 beta installed and intermittently, neither will play anything. Just a dark screen which pulses in different levels of darkness until it returns to the home page. No errors are shown. When restarted, it might play fine but it seems to be not working far more than working.
I am using a Vontar R3 - Rockchip RK3528 Android 13.
Updated to 26.95, still error 403. (Android-TV 11, Kernel 4.19.182-ab2990 on Philips, Location: Germany)
Update: 2 hours later: everything is fine now, error 403 gone.
Error 403 still here , version 26.95 stable Skyworth TV android 9.0 and version 26.11 stable is working fine, I don't know what's the problem with newer versions!
Updated and it worked for the day and now it's back to getting stuck in the 403 applying fix loop.
Shield TV on 26.95
This morning, after updating to version 26.95s, it ran without any problems. This evening the error is back. Picture remains permanently black. I have reverted to version 26.11s for the time being. The 403 message also appears briefly, but then the video runs.
I am having the very same issue with both the latest stable and beta versions on my Google Android TV dongle, and I wanted to share my findings with everyone.
I have a YouTube Premium Family plan on my account, and I'm using my original account (brand account? The one with username, not the one tied to the email) which is logged in SmartTube Stable, and I'm getting the 403 error every time: there's the infinite loading wheel, but the video data gets loaded (likes etc, and the video gets into your history). On the Beta it showed the same issues, still logged in with my account.
Two of my friends have had no issues with the error after the update, both have their accounts logged in, and both of them DO NOT have Premium.
So I tried deleting all data from the Beta version, and with no account logged in, videos play immediately and fine.
Hope thi helps somehow.

Thanks LuPoNe81 Same here. Got error 403 all the time, didn't work at all. Deleted account and all data from smarttube, now works fine.
Chromecast w Google TV 4K dongle, android 12, smartTube 26.95 stable
The stable version 26.95 works on 2 devices (Samsung TV and Freebox Player) but fails today (error 403) on TCL C825 while it worked yesterday with this same version!
26.95s same error, infinite loop on fire stick 4k unfortunately.
Thank you for all the effort you put in!
it seems the error or infinite loop always happens on the first video played when opening the app.
This is back again for me with a vengeance this morning - infinite 403/applying the fix loop.
edit: Wiping all data, and restoring from a backup got me going again. Still on 26.95
A Little update on my side, I just went in the stable version a few minutes ago, and videos were loading fine and sincerely I have no clue.
The error returned this morning. At first it was looping several times before finally playing a video and now it's just looping over and over. I'm on version 26.95. Onn 4K box. Android TV 12.
My error loops for a while and then starts playing the video. I'm on Chromecast.
Yeah still getting the error on Firestick on both the Beta and non Beta versions.
Further update: it stopped working. I'm in Italy (GMT +1) and till this really afternoon it worked, now that is evening it's error 403: is they're any coincidence?
Unfortunately still 403 cycling ( UK, GMT, PiHole ) - how can we help to get to the root cause of this?
