Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

github.com [Bug] "This helps protect our community." · Issue #4734 · iv-org/invidious

Update 21/09/2024: #4734 (comment) EDIT by @unixfox: The Invidious team is aware of this issue. It appears that it affects all the software using YouTube. Please refrain from commenting if you have...

EDIT: For those who are too lazy to click the link, this is what it says

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.

Newpipe still kicking. Sorry for invidious tho.
- The day newpipe dies is the day I leave YouTube behind
  
  And move to what? Sadly YouTube is monopoly right now :/
  
  We don't have to watch YouTube... :)
  
  Sadly, this is not simple like this. Of course, there is "haha I will touch grass now", but there are pieces of content that are needed yet there's no analog elsewhere. Disassembly guides for random pieces of tech. Lectures. Task breakdowns from competitions. A lot of things the original uploaders put there and just forgot.
  
  Youtube has far too much held hostage.
  
  I think it's just a matter of sacrificing that for the good of all, otherwise you will never leave YouTube and the monopoly keeps exploiting you.
  
  But a better service needs to arrive first by someone, and that seems unlikely, given the cost to store video.
  
  I mean, I can only do my part by downloading everything I like or may need - in fear of it potentially being taken away. But not sure where I'd reupload it.
