I’ve been using Nightbot since before the current UI update. My playlist is pretty old, and some songs have since been taken down or removed.

Before the UI update, Nightbot would automatically skip those unavailable songs. But now, with the new UI, I have to manually skip them myself.

I saw this post /t/nighbot-doesnt-autoskip-songs-with-errors-anymore/1534654873898057759 but this seems to be using it in a browser. I'm using the app and I can't clear cache with it.

Is there an option I’m missing?

Can you provide some example tracks that do not auto-advance? It's always a bit difficult for us to fix these entirely because there are so many error cases on content.

I did find some songs where nightbot skips it automatically, but here are some that wasn’t able to.

There’s probably more though. Maybe I’ll update this post the next time I stream.

I’m not able to reproduce with those video ids. Can you provide a video of what happens when those are playing on your machine? There is a popup that says video not embeddable and it continues onward for me.

Here's an example video: https:// streamable .com/6uekyt (sorry, apparently, I can't include links)
I also included an item that was skipped successfully, which you might find useful for reference.

The ID for the item that wasn't skipped is: t1k3EaUIs1c.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to copy the ID for that successful case.

I'm clicking next button in the video but of course it also happens when it's playing normally.

Reuploaded to YouTube. I noticed the streamable link is expired.

I believe this issue may be fixed now. We've tweaked some rate limiting that may have been affecting the player from continuing in your example case.
