I have never successfully run any piped video on any platform. Literally every pipedbot post has been worthless, at best, and usually actively frustrating as I’d actually use an alternative youtube frontend.
I’ve never had any trouble playing videos with NewPipe + Sponsorblock on Android.
In a desktop browser it’s trickier, but Libredirect helps immensely to redirect to a working instance on the occasion that one of them is down/doesn’t play the video
I don’t rely on any bots. I’d recommend unchecking “show bot accounts.” I know some people find a few of them helpful, and I don’t want to sound ungrateful to the people who’ve developed them, but they mostly just clutter up the threads in my experience
I had to really work with it to find a handful that actually showed video. Even then, they’re hit and miss, sometimes requiring pings to remind them that I exist.
Huh, I wonder what the issue is. I e clicked on many of them and never had a problem with the video starting, though I suppose I’ve heard there were problems recently (as in perhaps YouTube has been hampering it).

Dear pipedbots: blow me. Dear ReVanced: ❤️
YES. What the fuck piped? Work and I’ll use you.

Then you get to the throttling…
Same experience, not from a lack of trying but I finally blocked the bot this week.

I have issues sometimes, and others it works perfectly. I think they’ve got networks issues that need to be worked out.
Worked fine for a month then nothing on every instances
I use Invidious now and it have a button to swich instances in case it buffering too long
