is this a YT - NewPipe arms race or we're just getting some random bugs?

it feels like an arms race, and it probably is

YT changes were anti-bot in nature according to the extractor hotfix PR; I guess YT considers NP a bot or something.

To elaborate, while the errors in the middle of videos were because of general anti-bot measures, the errors at the beginning of videos were caused by a change that specifically targets third-party clients like NewPipe and youtube-dl. This is definitely part of an arms race.
