According to NewPipe, this is the technical explanation for what the 403 error message. It would appear to be affecting all similar apps.

"For the past weeks/months, YouTube has started to A/B test the requirement of an anti-bot check on streaming URLs from its HTML5 clients (desktop, mobile and TV websites), a pot URL query parameter, which leads to invalid responses (HTTP response code 403) after some time, like on the Android app if you do not pass integrity checks (this happened a few times to NewPipe and reVanced which works around the issue). This anti-bot check is hard to implement and requires a full browser environment.

Saw on a Face Book page, which vanished now, You Tube is blocking apps that black YT ads and they don't like ad blockers. Ublock origin blocks ads on You Tube app on Firestick.
