Seems like it doesn't work as of today

Youtube have been cracking down on all sort of third party clients lately.

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 Yesterday I saw a broken embedded video on LinkedIn so.....

Oh well. Thanks for correcting me. I guess they're trying to play hard

[–] chebra@mstdn.io 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@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.

I'm heading over to Odyssey/Peertube the second they tell me to sign in to watch videos.
