I tried to like Invidious, I really did but it's just awful. it's basically painful to use as it is now. I've tried to play around with various combinations of settings and browsers and cant find any combination where the video doesnt either:

• take a few minutes to launch
• fail to buffer every 30 seconds or so

sometimes it'll do both or get "stuck" and then wont buffer at all, or skip frames and then the audio is out of sync with the video - it usually gets stuck at that point though. is there some magic trick that folks use to make it at least moderately usable? or is it just vaporware?

as it is, I'm just going to go back to youtube. it works & works really well. the only thing I found useful about invidous was the ability to export the channels I subscribed to as xml/json. there's better downloaders, I just dont see the draw for this utility.
