Just started for me this evening too. It usually recovers eventually, but only after a lot of messing around trying to watch other videos. This is with the latest beta, on the original Chromecast with Google TV.

V27.99 seems to work fine since its release (days ago) for me.

I am getting the 403 error again with random videos with the past few days. Sometimes it will resolve after the error shows a few times , sometimes it will resolve after a minute or two waiting and 50% of the time it flat out refuses to play.

Lastnight I was watching a video and went back to watch the video and I got the 403 error. This is happening randomly but its happening more often as time goes by. I have been installing every update with the past few days including the android 4.4 fix this morning and it hasn't fixed the problem. I've cleared cache that didn't fix the problem. I changed network engine and tried all three. The most stable of the three is the OK:http network engine but I still receive the error with this but less often

Yup, getting similar issue, some videos/shorts play fine, some start giving 403 errors. Not sure why?

Yep getting that error on my side too. It shows that error in some videos. A good amount of videos actually. Quite annoyed because this is the only app that I can use to watch YouTube on TV. The stock youtube app is utter garbage

Anybody found a solution for this issue? It's been very annoying to see 403 after clicking on a most of the videos.

我这边也是403
