YouTube is currently trying to block Invidious instances

@archos I doubt it’s relevant but I’m almost totally de-googled

[archos]

@timconsidine I don't use Google anywhere, my phone has GrapheneOs and apps almost only from F-droid. I have it set up the same way on my computer.

@girish Hi don't be angry, it's clear to me that you have a lot of work to do, and what do you think, can't you improve the Invidious instance by changing IPv6 addresses? Because if ip address rotation is not possible in cloudron, I will have to put the instance on a separate VPS. Thank you very much

[LoudLemur]

There is an IPv6 rotation tutorial here:
https://github.com/iv-org/smart-ipv6-rotator

Would Cloudron be able to create the invidious instance in such a way that it was allocated an arbitrary IP6 address from a range, and the admin could then, when necessary, set the instance to a new, arbitrary IPv6 address? This might be something for you to keep on the lookout for during your IPv6 research, @girish.

Unfortunately, there is another problem with Invidious. It started for me yesterday and today all instances have the problem. They solve it on Github

[girish]

@archos I tried updating indivious to the latest commit, same error.

Looks like this has been reported (many times) -

[archos]

@girish Yes, they wrote on Mastodon

[archos]

@girish I think the developers have fixed it, can you please try updating the app? Thank you very much.

[girish]

@archos updated. Can also confirm it works again with the latest update!

Can also confirm that the most recent update fixes it.

Well done Cloudron!

[archos]

@girish Thank you very much, everything is already working

[archos]

Hi, so unfortunately again all instances of invidious are blocked by Google. Hopefully the developers will fix it soon. I'll let you know

[LoudLemur]

@archos It was noticeable a couple of days ago. Invidious pages didn't load right away and needed reloading. Now the video won't work at all. I think google have some digruntled former employees. Maybe they would like to help contribute code.

[archos]

@LoudLemur I hope it doesn't turn out like Nitter

[archos]

@girish Hello, the problem would be solved. Can you please update Invidious?
Thank you very much..

[LoudLemur]

Well done to those Invidious developers! Hopefully, Google will give up trying to stop them.

[girish]

@archos finally, tagged releases are back as well!

If only we could mark this "Solved - Permanently"!
