My FreeTube stopped working today, so I figured others would also be affected.
The devs posted a temporary workaround on GitHub:
-
Set Primary API to Invidious in the General Settings
-
Select an Instance that is near to you, see https://api.invidious.io/. Make sure to pick one that has a checkmark in the API field. Also make sure you start typing the instance name with
https://and it should list instances as suggestions. -
Disable Fallback to Non-Preferred Backend on Failure in the General Settings
-
Disbale Proxy Videos Through Invidious in the Player settings
This seems to be working for now, until the (awesome) devs release an update to fix the issue.
thanks it seems that YouTube is playing with its polymer script again, many apps also stopped working
