Expected behavior
- Click any video
- Video plays without any errors.
Actual behavior
So I'm having a weird set of bugs. About half an hour before I'm writing this I finished one video without problems, but when I went and clicked another video I got hit with the "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error message, with only the Report and Open in Browser buttons available.
While I was checking to see if I was having the problem on other devices I figured I'd try one more time before making a bug report. When I clicked a video I got Report, Open in Browser, and Retry. If I click Retry enough times (maybe around 3-5 times), I can get the video to play.
And in the middle of writing this bug report, I went back to having the "Sign in..." error, to the "Could not parse website", back and forth.

Additional information
I dont use a VPN, which ive heard is one of the causes for the bot message. The error log in this post is the one I get when I'm able to click retry and load videos. I can't post the other error log I get for when the "Sign in to confirm..." error message In this same post I don't think.
