Did the others all decide to quit or is there a practical reason?
Is it a cool game? Can you host your own?
It’s a YouTube front end.
YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.
Vanilla Invidious currently doesn’t work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here’s the source code if you’re interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidiousI’ve got big respect for Fijxu,
he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.If you can please consider:
- Donating for their work/hosting
- Hosting their fork on your own
- Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork
All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he’s mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.I think the best thing to do is selfhosting your own instance :/ piped is doing a great job with their script to install with docker ! Yes I know this takes away the privacy feature allowing google to get your public IP and other annoying metadata… However all the rest works as expected !
It has some quirks right now though… But they are very close in solving the issue (already done with LibreTube ).
If it takes away the privacy, why do it at all?
its just the ip, you can use a vpn

This is the reason why I stopped to host my own. It’s so painful to maintain
thats great ressources thank you!
Google started blocking them in some way. Even my self-hosted, entirely local-access only instance stopped working.
Did you run the token generator thing? Worked for me a couple days ago (but not over a VPN).
I haven’t, no.
It got so bad that couldn’t access YouTube on their official app in my company phone without logging in.
Stop using company phones for personal use. Wtf are you thinking
Make me.
I mean I’m just trying to help.
Just so you know, this attitude is signing the “I acknowledge I’m stepping in shit and have no right to complain when shit gets on me later” line.
I’m not trying to side with your boss here, this advice is for your own good.
Dude. I don’t care about what you think.
There is also nyc1.iv.ggtyler.dev But I don’t know where I found it.
Because Google are dicks.
Dont post pictures of text without transcribing it
Best thing you can do is host it yourself, and keep it private. Doing this has helped with preventing with IPs getting blocked.
