Your internet connection could be the root of the problem. I attempted to replicate your issue, but nothing occurred.

[ChemoCosmo]

I'll try with mobile data (instead of wifi) next and let you know if the issue doesn't occur anymore.

[ChemoCosmo]

Problem also occurs with mobile data, which is usually very reliable.

InvalidResponseCodeException: Response code: 403 doesn't really sound like a timed out connection to me.

I will update my OS in the next days. Maybe that does the trick...

[ChemoCosmo]

Came back to tell, that an update to Android 11 did not fix the issue.

Response code: 403

This has nothing to do with timing out, as you say. It's the server saying you're forbidden to access the resource, for whatever reason. Happens on YT as well.

[davidasunmo]

This is a bug I've also been experiencing for a while, also getting basically the exact same stack trace too. Idk if I get it for YT videos as I mostly have soundcloud in my playlists, but it happens multiple times a day.

[opusforlife2]

403 errors tend to be temporary on YT. Don't know about SC.

[ChemoCosmo]

In that case it would be nice if Newpipe would just resume the playlist in case one song is not accessible.

[opusforlife2]

Newpipe does skip to the next song in the queue. It won't work if your queue has only one song, though.

[simonai1254]

For me this issue occurs as well, regardless if on WiFi or mobile data, multiple times a day. I mostly listen in the background, not sure if it happens in the normal mode as often/at all.

Newpipe does skip to the next song in the queue.

This is correct, but to some degree annoying, especially since going back to the song before and continuing where it crashed usually works fine.
