Might i recommend ikatube? https://chino-chan.gitlab.io/programs.html
It's an alternative youtube client made by a /g/ user that you can download to your computer and uses mpv/vlc media player to play videos could be worthwhile to use atleast before invidious (hopefully) comes back

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ff2mpv-for-windows/
This requires editing the registry to add a ytdl:// protocol but I prefer that to running a companion program like all the alternatives (for windows) require. You can probably edit the command that the .bat file adds to the registry to get it to also download the video with yt-dlp in addition to playing it in mpv but I haven't tried that yet.

switch to nightly for consistent updates because the default release channel takes forever between updates, and whenever shit doesn't work, update again
yt-dlp --update-to nightly


if you want to be bleeding edge (and you might due to the nature of Youtube), replace the word nightly with master, although things can (and will) break if someone pushes a bad commit lul

I just want a Youtube front end that works.
I was using Invidious and Poketube.fun.
Half the time they are broken. Or if they do manage to try and play a video, Youtube says "open Youtube instead".

Fucking cunts. Youtube is so hard on my old PC.

When OP was made pretty much all invidious instances were down but yes, it's been resolved the information in this thread is still pretty helpful for whenever it it's down again (or permanently) smile

Worst thing is I actually only discovered yewtube and other invidious instances just a couple of days before YouTube started to crack down on them, so I didn't even get to use them that much

To note about inv.nadeko.net / Invidious.
When I search and listen to music, the "Topic" accounts (the ones that usually have the best audio quality) are the ones that give me the most issues. I believe these are robotic accounts relating to streaming services. Often times I get a playback error that media failed to load. So I click to the left on the Youtube embed link (2nd best option). That rarely works, those fucks cock block that too and the video doesn't play it just says "Watch on Youtube".

Problem is that Topic accounts are the only results for alot of the older and obscure music I listen too. They sometimes take the place of older, user uploaded music that was on YT for ages and then was removed due to copyright strikes once the "official" music was uploaded to the site with an "official" Topic account (or sometimes Vevo, fuck Vevo too).

So yeah, forgot to say, user uploaded music almost always works for me on these Youtube front ends, I believe I had the same problems with Poketube.fun. I don't know what Youtube does to these front ends concerning "official" music accounts to make music and videos harder to play off site, but they must to something.
