Same issue, could not parse website. Tap to access any YT site besides main landing and this comes up. Repeatedly trying will sometimes get it to load.
Log from the app:
This happens 95% of the time I try to play something on YT. Sometimes repeatedly trying will get it to load. About to trash this app TBH, but I want it to succeed.

Saw the last comment, will try updating. Thanks.

RavenMind on 1 Nov 2020

xibr mentioned a version 0.20.2. F Droid says 0.20.1 is the latest version. Where can I get 0.20.2 in which this problem is hopefully resolved?
Edit: Nvm, found it. Boy GitHub is hard to navigate if you dont use it all the time! Anyway, first video played the first time. Awesome thank you!

@RavenMind Same issues happens periodically, while youtube twists gears, so try to find hotfix update first before you open issue
