Hello,
Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.
If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..
This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.
I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.
Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.
There doesn’t need to be direct competition. Just stop watching YouTube. If someone cannot do that- they have an addiction, and ads are not their biggest problem.
Because there's absolutely no valuable information that exists on YouTube, right?
Nice straw man, but I never said that.
Youtube is my main source of entertainment. I don't watch regular TV, and I barely watch any movies or series. Doesn't have anything to do with an addiction, it's personal preference lmao
Many people don't understand that youtube has a lot of use cases. But it is the new cable teevee... Got to have it.
Apologies, that response was meant for someone else.
