Hello everybody!

We've released a new stable version of Invidious, which fixes the very annoying "Youtube API returned error 400" error on the channel pages.

It however does not change the video playback capabilities of Invidious: currently a PO token/visitor data pair and inv_sig_helper are required to watch videos. We're still working on a solution that make them optional.

A lot of other bugs were also fixed. Read the full changelog here:

You sir are an idiot.

None of us, the invidious team and the public instance owners owes you anything.

You're not happy about it? Go pay the server hosting bills to those instance owners so that they can enable proxy (spoiler: 100-200€/month minimum) or go away, or you know, be productive and go host multiple public instances with proxy enabled. yourself. It's FOSS, you're not happy about it, you can do the work yourself.

@amici choose dash as quality in the settings (some instances might have that disabled)

Hello,

TL;DR: *.invidious.io down temporarily

During our move to a new uptime checker, a change was made to the invidious.io DNS...

This worked... except our provider's ( @njalla #njalla ) name servers fucked up and haven't pushed anything (other than a deletion of the existing entries).... meaning all our DNS just disappeared from the internet (except for the rare DNS that cache)...

I already opened a support ticket with them...

Don't worry though... we're still alive!

@njalla We're back!

Haven't heard of PeerTube yet?


It's a great piece of software to host your own videos!

Plus, they don't break 3rd-party clients, especially on a Saturday. Unlike some other plaftorm(s).


Go check out them out at @peertube

Hello!

A new version of invidious is available!

Huge thanks to LuanRT from the youtube.js project. He's the one who found a fix!

Please wait a few minutes for the container releases to be available through Quay (especially the arm64 one).

Hello everyone!

We are aware that Youtube has changed something, and that something broke all instances.

We're working on a fix, please be patient!

Also, please don't open any Github issues for that. It isn't helpful, and the bot will close them anyway.
