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.

Start asking your favourite content creators to post on PeerTube.

And how are they going to make a living to keep producing videos?

I’d say ask them to join Nebula.

And while we're at it, stop calling them 'content creators'

[-] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 10 points 27 minutes ago

What is the alternative name for someone who creates content for a platform?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 26 minutes ago

Why? What else would we call them?

[-] isgleas@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 minutes ago

Entertainers. Show women/men.

[-] Skates@feddit.nl 4 points 25 minutes ago

Right. Call them youtubers! Wait...

i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.

they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.

[-] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 hour ago

We need a competitor badly.

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 minutes ago

Peertube/Odysee exist, even if they are relatively niche.

[-] hostops@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 minutes ago

Competitor with no content, users is not a competitor. Youtube should be forced to share content they do not own. Just for the sake of competition.

Whatever happened to dailymotion?

You can block YouTube ads simply by connecting to an Albanian VPN server.

This might explain why mine has been reliable even though it hasn't been updated in months. I guess add me to the list of confirmations that it works on residential connections.

Sad to hear. Newpipe is still working fine (as of a couple minutes ago) if that helps. That's through a residential IP. I will try yt-dlp from a data center IP when I get a chance. I hope they haven't blocked that.
