Anybody else experiencing this issue ?

ps: Whats with the 600 seconds waiting before making your first post?! It says its moderated and I am a paying customer. Way to get support for a product I pay $30/Mo. for.

Unfortunately this is not really a packaging issue we can solve, the upstream project needs to release a fixed version which works around the youtube restrictions/blocking.

I published a new package, as it seems the sighelper got temporarily fixed by now. However this might not be a long term solution, but for the moment better than nothing.

@nebulon thank you for the work on this, much appreciated.

@BodyStench This developer say that «Youtube changed the method they use to block instances and third party clients» and «Invidious is extremely limited and prone to fail».

@nebulon @p44 I like the tag you guys use for Experimental apps. As a user I am already prepared for possible issues running this app.
I think another tag should be added for apps like Invidious so the user can prepare for possible issues running/installing the affected app.

@BodyStench Yes, maybe app could be tagged as "Unstable"

At least on residential IPs (like homeservers) it works quite well again.
