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.

    25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.

    BUT, I prefer learning by reading, not videos.

        I’m sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.

        I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.

        I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.

        And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.

        As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don’t look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.

        I hope opportunity knocks for you.

        This is insane. My career started three years ago. I’m Gen-Z. Never used YouTube for learning. We get it dude you like videos, most don’t and don’t learn that way. Videos are mostly for ads and grifting
