My FreeTube stopped working today, so I figured others would also be affected.
The devs posted a temporary workaround on GitHub:
-
Set Primary API to Invidious in the General Settings
-
Select an Instance that is near to you, see https://api.invidious.io/. Make sure to pick one that has a checkmark in the API field. Also make sure you start typing the instance name with
https://and it should list instances as suggestions. -
Disable Fallback to Non-Preferred Backend on Failure in the General Settings
-
Disbale Proxy Videos Through Invidious in the Player settings
This seems to be working for now, until the (awesome) devs release an update to fix the issue.
Hey, thanks a lot, both NewPipe and FreeTube have been giving issues lately thanks to YouTube constant fuckery.
This worked like a charm.
Will it play Live videos, though? They completely stopped working for me a day ago.
I just tested and yes, working ok for me.
Aaand it’s been fixed as of 52 minutes ago. Bravo!
thanks it seems that YouTube is playing with its polymer script again, many apps also stopped working
They broke Newpipe/Tubular only a couple of days after they fixed it, lol.
Thanks for this! Usually when something weird like this happens, I’ll just sigh, update the package and hope.
Lovely, thank you!
