Try these...

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

# won't work unless you are logged in
like_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"(//yt-icon[@class='style-scope ytd-toggle-button-renderer'])[4]")))
like_btn.click()

# won't work unless you are logged in
dislike_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"(//yt-icon[@class='style-scope ytd-toggle-button-renderer'])[5]")))
dislike_btn.click()

pause_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//button[@title='Pause (k)']")))
pause_btn.click()

# comment out to test pause btn, otherwise it happens so fast you don't notice
play_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//button[@title='Play (k)']")))
play_btn.click()

mute_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//button[@aria-label='Mute (m)']")))
mute_btn.click()

# comment out to test mute_btn, otherwise it happens so fast you don't notice it
unmute_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//button[@aria-label='Unmute (m)']")))
unmute_btn.click()

To play or pause video you can click the play / pause button located by the following css_selector: button.ytp-play-button
To go to the next video click the following element a.ytp-next-button. again, it's css-selector
