Autocorrection corrupted my post. Sorry

By opening the app all looks fine. But no single video works. One hour ago the app works perfectly.
I've done nothing to make this error happen.

I have the same problem. I have also noticed that I cannot watch videos on the YouTube website itself without logging in. Perhaps that is the cause?

So would you tell then, where the solution to find? I don't found anything about a solution.
