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.

    I think it needs regulation, the whole streaming industry needs to be regulated! It can’t be that the competition is made using exclusive content and you have to live with privacy infringement tech to consume cultural art legally.

    In my opinion, in a capitalist system, the market competition should be about delivering the content the best way, not about what content they deliver.

    Right now, they can made the delivery as shitty as they want, because what takes them apart from competition is the exclusive content, not the tech.

      Agreed, now the fun part of coming up with a legal basis to do so and convincing regulators.

        I think in the EU one could achieve something like this a la appstore opening rule, where streaming services are demanded to give other streaming services access to the library, lime some sort of roaming 🤔

        Or you split the distribution from the company producing stuff

        So many possibilities 😂

        Luckily I am in a pirate friendly country 🏴‍☠️
