STV problem switching to first/third person POV

When I press space to change POVs the camera will become stuck, stuck again, then switches back to free roam POV again. Surely this is a known problem by now but I couldn't find a solution to this exact problem. I tried unbinding +jump from my mouse wheel up and down and then also unbinding then rebinding space +jump, no luck.
This error keeps popping up when I try to swap POVs (idk how to embed?) https://imgur.com/a/nQ6QUuo

Just trying to watch a STV of the boys killing it in scrims :(, any help is is appreciated.

if it doesnt work you could do:

bind [key] sv_specmode 4 // first person
bind [key] sv_specmode 7 // third person free roam

that error probably means the server isn't allowing you to execute commands... for some reason?

Finally got around to trying this out. Unfortunately, sv_specmode doesn't show up as a command in console. When I binded it in autoexec this netgraph would show up on specmode 4 while specmode 7 seemingly didn't do anything. Maybe it has something to do with all these "could not find table ..." errors when I play the demo?

I considered steam verifying game integrity but idk if that would mess with my configs or not. Idk why sv_specmode doesn't show up for me.

Shows the console errors. Disregard the netgraph image. Maybe that was some old bind that I was unaware of.

This ended up giving me the same result as using spacebar; zoom in and zoom out in place. Hopefully the console error is enough to figure out the problem because I'm lost.

I don't fully understand what you mean by specific server. This only happens when I'm opening up a stv demo in console, whether it's my own demos or those of invite players. I don't have a specific server? It's just stv demos in general, I guess.

Do you use a current cfg for your binds? Do you have a ctap jump script that uses spacebar for an alias?

Before doing the next two sentences after this, make sure you unbind whatever is bound to +jump and unbind space too:

What happens when you try bind space spec_prev? Or do bind SEMICOLON +jump and go into spec and try it?

You mention here:

unbinding +jump from my mouse wheel up and down

So I am guessing this is the culprit since the +jump bind also is the same bind used in spectating

It's probably running into an error because you're trying to rebind space while spectating but I'm confused because this error shouldn't show up at all. Before trying a reinstall just reset keys to default before loading into a stv and it would probably fix.
