How does Spotube get it's audio from YouTube/Piped? - eviltoast

I started using Spotube a few days ago and it seems interesting but I’m having a specific issue with it. I’m trying to listen to “Darkish” by A-One but despite the fact that there are multiple videos on YouTube, Spotube can’t find a source and if I try manually searching for a source, all of the videos, including videos it uses as a source for other songs, are grayed out. There are three versions on Spotify (the original from Vol.7, a release from montage yellow and a remix in the “nonstop” 2012~2013 compilation) and all three of them have the same issue.

I have tried switching the api type from YouTube to Piped but the issue still persists. I mostly use the Linux version but the issue also exists for the android version. Is there anything I should try before contacting the developers?
