Bear in mind that in-video ads that Google is experimenting with will still cause 403 errors. There is another bug report for that. However, this fixes most playback issues.

That seems like an odd error code to receive, to me. 403 is a permissions problem, right? Forbidden request.

Or, I guess it makes sense if you're a scraper of some kind? Maybe? Someone would be able to explain the behavior to me, I'm sure. 🙏

It's from Google intentionally breaking things

Yeah, seems like an intentional thing, otherwise it makes little sense not to be allowed to watch an ad... 🤪
