YT Shorts show “Video unavailable” when enabling YTUHD

[quoctrile8]

Hello, PoomSmart. I got this issue "Video unavailable. Something went wrong" when watching shorts with YTUHD enabled. This happened only with YT Shorts, not the videos.
I also tried removing all the tweaks in YouTube except the YTUHD and installed YTVideoErrorAlert tweak but it didn't show anything when the issue happened.
If I remove the YTUHD tweak, the YT Shorts is working normally.
I attached a screenshot to describe this issue.
My device is iPhone 8, iOS 16.6.1.
YouTube version: 20.04.1.
YTUHD version: 1.5.9.

Hope you can help me solve this issue.
Many thanks!

Can you install YTABConfig, enable it, copy the current settings then send them here?

What happens if you turn off "VP9 for all" ?

It still has that issue when I turn off "VP9 for all".

Strange. It doesn't happen on my devices. Does this occur to every Shorts? Any specific Shorts that this problem occurred on?

No, it occurs in random shorts. Some shorts have this issue before playing, some have it after playing a few seconds.
I can't find any specific info about these shorts.
It randomly occurs in 1080p premium, 1080p60, 1080p, 720p, etc. quality shorts.
Here are some shorts links that have this issue:

Same issue on normal videos for me

Experiencing the same issues on shorts.

Also experiencing crashes on both normal videos and shorts, could be related to ads? Since this really does occur randomly and the shorts listed above doesn't crash my device.
Using iPhone 8 Plus 16.7.8, YoutubePlus (YTLite) with YTUHD enabled.

Install YTVideoErrorAlert tweak version 1.0.1 and see if it will alert anything when you are viewing a problematic Shorts.

Install YTVideoErrorAlert tweak version 1.0.1 and see if it will alert anything when you are viewing a problematic Shorts.

After installing YTVideoErrorAlert ver 1.0.1 and YTUHD ver 1.5.10, I'm still getting Shorts issue.(iPhone 8 A11, iOS 16.6.1)
YTVideoErrorAlert works and alerts 2 errors with and without turning on "VP9 for all":

hi, i also wanted to report it.

this is my log on normal videos (longer log)

[dora727]

btw i also have a weird issue which can be related: the video often stop after 5-10s of playing, so i had to reopen the video

[PoomSmart]

Still haven't quite figured out either of those issues. Time will tell.

@dora727

the video often stop after 5-10s of playing

Would enabling mainAppCoreClientIosStartupSchedulerQosFriendlyHardwareDecodeSupportedEnabled in YTABConfig help with that?
