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.

    You can do that through their own interface though, there are browser extensions to do all the things invidious did anyway

    Not like going to the website will cause your computer to blow up or something, if privacy is the concern there are plenty of ways to anonymise it

        I suppose if you really can’t stand to give them any information at all, don’t want to pay and don’t use ads your only choice is to not use the service

        They provide a pretty good service all things considered and have to pay the bills for their servers somehow
