Describe the bug
When trying to play age restricted videos like this one, the speed is terribly throttled and the comments just won’t load. I’ve tried with 0.18.0-nightly-3089, so this problem isn’t a thing of the past. My settings are: “Preferred API backend: Local API” is set, “Revert to non-preferred backend on failure” is enabled and “Proxy Videos Through Invidious” is disabled.
I’ve also tried playing the same video on NewPipe, which also gets speed throttled, but it can load the comments. Also tried downloading with yt-dlp 2023.07.06 and it is able to download the video with no problems, no throttling at all.
Expected Behavior
No speed throttling and comments loaded.

content not loading, inconsistent behavior

Nightly Build
I have encountered this bug in the latest nightly build.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
This is expected, as the throttling bypass we use, only helps with the android client, the web one and the one we use to bypass age restrictions are still throttled.
This will hopefully be fixed when we do the major refactor to use a different video player that behaves more similarly to the official website, As that is a lot of work (basic playback is easy, but we'll have to reimplement all of the custom features that accumulated over time, that are written for the current player) and we are planning to do the next release soon, it won't be included in or worked on before the next release.
