    Piped proxies videos and Google changed their IP blocking strategy to the video endpoint (the site works but the stream doesn’t) so you have to ether find a instance that isn’t blocked or use Libretube and disable the video proxy there. It’s unfortunate but should be fixed in the near future (not the first IP blocking wave just a new strategy on Youtubes side)

    Things should be fine from today onwards on the official instance. We’re now using a VPN for some (and maybe soon all) traffic to Google.

      Can confirm that working ok now. Libre Tube is giving me a hard time though since it crashes when trying to access library…

      Yes I think that turned out to be there problem. I changed to another instance and things started working.

      I chose a different instance in my location, in my case North America. It started working right away AND the instance list is GONE, and it says the only way to reset it is to clear the browser data.

      So apparently choosing an instance other than the default is crucial.
