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.

      So what should we say when discussing people who make video, audio, text media?

      I see their point about “content”, where, on YouTube, for example, it devalues the videos as subordinate to YouTube as a platform, but I think as people use the word “content” it loses that connotation.

        video → video producer

        audio → musician, podcaster, … depending on the type of audio

        text media → author

          So what word should we use when describing all of those people in one group?

            I don’t have a very good answer to that either tbh; do we really need to do that so often?

              We’ve been doing it often enough that we’ve adopted a term for it, yes.
