    what’s thr point of new shiny youtube clients if they’re all dependent on a single method/backend ?

      To say it was written in Rust & make it someone’s portfolio piece so they can use a Microsoft GitHub link on their Microsoft LinkedIn profile.

        @TwinTusks @w00t

        Looks like yesterday Youtube simply stopped serving the format 22 (ytdl -f22, IIRC that was 480p video+audio) on all videos, so now anything that had this format selected as default is failing (@invidious). -f18 is still there (360p).

        They’re locking down on IPs which consume traffic like a bot/ alternate distribution platforms like Invidious instances. AFAIK the softwares itself isn’t blocked. Please try and correct everyone you see on this forum who says otherwise

          @MigratingtoLemmy you are wrong though. They are adding tokens and signatures, without them the videos aren’t playing. But I just updated my invidious and it’s playing fine again => it’s not an IP block (yet), it is a change in the youtube media api, so the players need to be changed too = effectively a player block.

            TBH unless this is a coordinated effort against Invidious and other apps or should affect a lot of other things too. Or does this change not affect embedded media in pages?

                  @MigratingtoLemmy Yup, there are even some similarities from the Twitter/Nitter fight - tracking tokens, IP blocks, API limits, … Get ready for youtube requiring login to watch videos.

      @w00t @sag

      This fixed the problem for invidious, maybe RustyTube needs something similar https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper

    Wut. If you want an alt YT client, you need the opposite of rusty. You need to update it every week to fight the constant cat and mouse game

      This app is written in Rust and freetube is written in JS. But what is wrong with alternatives? https://rustytube.rs/

          yea correct. This app seems to be interacting with Invidious. Keep in mind that Google is changing their videos to embed ads soon in their video streams.
