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.
“And move to what?”
To having a better life.
I like YouTube as much as the guy next to me, but at this point we have become to Dependant to it. Instead of watching quality content like movies, series, documentaries or animation; we end watching someone talking about that on YouTube. When we find nothing good on the platform we end watching something we don’t care about just to have something to watch or having as background noise. Some people can’t even enjoy a meal or sleep without YouTube. At this point YouTube is more numbing the TV ever was.
I hate what they are doing, trying to block Invidious, Newpipe and the ability to watch the platform without ads. But at the end it’ll be the best for all of us except for YouTube.
Eventually YouTube will die and a new shitty monopoly will step in.
