[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 72 points 1 year ago (3 children) Google started blocking them in some way. Even my self-hosted, entirely local-access only instance stopped working. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (1 child) It got so bad that couldn’t access YouTube on their official app in my company phone without logging in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Stop using company phones for personal use.

I don’t care about what you think. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago Even YT on browser for both my tablet and laptop have gotten mad at me and thrown a hissy for forcing me to login. Less of a problem on my Laptop, because I use Freetube to watch on there, and on my Phone I use Revanced. But man, I just hate watching on my Kindle now, because that shit is old and can barely run Firefox (got it via aurora store, not even in the Amazon appstore 😭) and YT on browser is ass. I tried NewPipe and it crashed all the time, so I got the for PipePipe cause I'm a weeabo, and it worked well but now I get the blocked IP every other day. My tablet crashed when I tried to download Revanced YT on there, so I gave up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) Did you run the token generator thing?

I also auto-restart the invidious container stack hourly, per their recommendation. But sooner or later it fails, and usually the fix is to recreate a token. It only takes a minute, but it's a hassle to do often. permalink fedilink source parent
