When switching Google accounts some work, but not my main one.

if that's the case, does it also not work on the official yt music / youtube app and the site version of youtube (music)?

I was also trying, it started yesterday for me. For me same thing happening with the revance patched version, however unpatched ytmusic works normally

If I had to bet, this is probably intentional by google.

with same accounts, right? because my 7.29.52 build of yt music with patches 5.4.0 version from december 14, 2024 still works fine for me

how about trying to patch yt music with older patches version with revanced-cli?

Likely a/b test. I have 8.34.51 no issue. But, maybe Spoof client needs to be updated against the issue.

i tried patching 8.34.51 version of yt music (5.34.0 patches version) with revanced-cli and it also has no issues for me (action buttons still broken as usual)

not sure what's going on, but i'll stick with your a/b test claim (other users speculated it's also an account issue)

I'm having the same issue, have tried re-installing, patching, clearing cache, updating MicroG all as recommended, no soap. Hope someone can find a fix!

@ymyogev i'm sorry but even if i want to, my limited mobile data plan will not help

there are tutorials on reddit though

I have the same issue with 8.34.51 and 8.33.53. It was working fine for weeks until now.

I have this issue on 8.33.54 patched.
Has anyone found a solution?

@jpa102

anyone that confirmed it's not their youtube account having hiccups both on revanced and stock versions (even the website version), can try patching with revanced-cli until this issue is addressed

this will use an older patches and yt music version: (pc is needed here)

java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-7.29.52-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

or a slightly older patches version:

java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-8.05.51-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.27.0.rvp

there is no guarantee that this method may help anyone, as cyberboh pointed out that the Spoof client patch may need some updating

THIS WORKS!!!! Thanks.. @jpa102

or a slightly older patches version:

java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-8.05.51-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.27.0.rvp

THIS DOESNT WORK. Will give the same error.


Edit3: removing apk link, as it might violate GH policy.

Is it possible that this is an ARMv7-only issue? Because my brother's is ARMv7 and he's facing the same issue while mine is ARM64v8 and it's working just fine. I'm using the latest yt-music app along with the latest patches

Could you try login with your brother's account in your device? It seems more likely that the inconsistent errors are because of YouTube doing A/B tests with only some accounts having the breaking new feature.
I personally have one of my accounts fail while the other works just fine in the same device

No, it's account related.

java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1.jar patch youtubemusic-7.29.52-arm64-v8a.apk -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

So according to some feedback received in Discord, this workaround by @jpa102 seems to be working. It's likely that yt music version doesn't have the code to handle the new experiment.

Please try this if you have problems and report the result.

works for me too

Can anyone (that currently has the 400 issue) please test if using the patches v5.4.0 with the current suggested YT music works or get the 400 issue again? Basically I need to understand if it's related to the app version (aka the app version doesn't have the code to handle the flag) or if it's related to the patches itself (the old spoofing method still works).

(I'd do it myself but I don't have issues in any account)

Don't know if it is any help, but I was having this issue for some time on the RVX version, but after applying the latest patches from 6 days ago (YTM 8.12.53 - RVX patches 5.9.1) it seems to be fixed. Again, don't know if it helps you since it's not the official patches, make of it what you will.

@brosssh so, it again stopped playing beyond first 60 seconds. It will try to buffer, but it stops and song never plays, except when I am on video tab. In that case, I can buffer and swich back to song tab.
Edit: and it works again...
Edit2: and again it doesn't...

I believe it is the patch issue, as I tried 7.29.52 with the latest default patches using the ReVanced Manager app. It returned the same error 400. I cannot comment on using CLI as it believes my APK does not exist.

Basically I need to understand if it's related to the app version (aka the app version doesn't have the code to handle the flag)

if that's the case, here are some app versions that work fine with 5.4.0 patches version (anyone can try it out)

  • 6.20.51
  • 6.42.55
  • 7.16.53
  • 7.25.53 (no update banner)
  • 7.29.52

commands: (context: the -d is there to disable the patch because they fail)

  1. java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch youtubemusic-6.20.51-arm64-v8a.apk -d "Bypass certificate checks" -d "Hide 'Get Music Premium' label" -d "Remove upgrade button" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp
  2. java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch youtubemusic-6.42.55-arm64-v8a.apk -d "Bypass certificate checks" -d "Hide 'Get Music Premium' label" -d "Remove upgrade button" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp
  3. java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch youtubemusic-7.16.53-arm64-v8a.apk -d "Bypass certificate checks" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp
  4. java -jar revanced-cli-5.0.1-all.jar patch youtubemusic-7.25.53-arm64-v8a.apk -d "Bypass certificate checks" -p patches-5.4.0.rvp

On my account with error 400 I can confirm ver. 7.29.52 with patch 5.4.0 is fully functional on my device

I had to specify the path in each step like below (Mac):

java -jar /filepath/revanced-cli.jar patch \ -p /filepath/patches.rvp \ -o /filepath/ytmusic-revanced.apk \ /filepath/com.google.android.apps.youtube.music_7.29.52.apk

Also had the error 400 tied to my primary yt account since 26Aug. On Windows 11, I used revanced-cli and the commands below to generate new patched apks for v7.16.53, v7.25.53, and v7.29.52 using patch v5.4.0. (just to test different versions)

java -jar .\revanced-cli.jar patch '.\ytmusic 7.29.52.apk' -d "Bypass certificate checks" -p .\patches-5.4.0.rvp

Be sure to install Java Runtime Environment 11 beforehand. I used OpenJDK v11.0.0.2 Install Page sourced from the revanced-cli prerequisites page. If you dont know how to install and set you env var, heres a Youtube Video

Would recommend using 7.29.52, since it fixes the blue update banner. Thanks to those above for the help with the temporary fix.
