My question is regarding vids that won’t play. I don’t know the reason for them not playing in Freetube(they are viewable on the YT site) but the one thing I’ve noticed is that the fallback methods have** never ever, not even once worked **in playing a video that failed to load.
Has anyone made changes in the settings that positively effected the second-chance playing of these problem videos?
Thanks for your time!
I’ve not used Freetube in a long time. But what I can say is to check if you have the latest version. In the latest available release of
yt-dlpon Debian there is a bug where for some videos the Youtube servers would respond 403 Forbidden. It is fixed if you enable backports and install the newer release there. Might be related, might not. Depends if Freetube implements part of yt-dlp
