Afraid not. Exact error message only becomes known by going NewPipe > Play a video > Error (Content Unavailable). At this point NewPipe offers: Report or Open In Browser. When ya opt for the second option, your browser opens that video which then gives Error: "Sign in to confirm you’re not a not. This helps protect our community.

I use Newpipe on mobile. The app has issues from time to time, but I’ll take those over YouTube pr*mium any day.
Newpipe is great. I rarely watch youtube on my phone any other way
Whenever NewPipe or PipePipe has an issue I switch to the other one (exporting and importing data takes 30s). Always worked so far
I was ecstatic with NewPipe for months. But now I’m getting an error message saying I must log in to YouTube to protect the community. Just me?
I…think you should reinstall the app? Unless it’s a joke, that sounds weird.

Never seen that before. Did you un- and reinstall the app at some point?
It’s YouTube blocking my in-use known VPN IP addresses. https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/how-to-watch-youtube-while-always-on-vpn-is-present
I won’t turn off my VPN to watch YT videos, so I’m the outlier. I value my privacy more than my sense of entertainment.
