YouTube is currently trying to block Invidious instances

[archos]

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

@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.

@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.

@archos finally, tagged releases are back as well!

[archos]

@girish You are the best thanks a lot.

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

Mine's stopped.

[jdaviescoates]

Mines still currently working (but I rarely actually use it!)

[LoudLemur]

stopped too. Come on, Invidious developers, save us again!

[AartJansen]

Mines working, do you think youtubes newest attempt in inject ads server-side is breaking it?
