Any other invidious users here noticed massive playback issues recently?

I've been using invidious for the past ~5months with no issues, I really like it and think it's a great youtube frontend alternative. In the last few days though, I haven't been able to get anything to play at all. All of the servers seem to be experiencing the same problem.

Is this just me?

This will happen from time to time as google changes things with YouTube and only a few people hosting public servers, you kind of have to bounce around to what's working at the time. Some other things to try would be piped, newpipe, freetube, vacuumtube, etc. Personally I moved away from Invidious a while ago because of errant playback issues, I've found newpipe to be the most consistent.

    Keep in mind, Google knows what IP is streaming when using Newpipe. It works most of the time for me but sometimes they block your IP and sends an error that they think you are a bot.
