Seems like it doesn't work as of today
Probably because its rusty
Then this might help https://github.com/insorker/WD-40
Youtube have been cracking down on all sort of third party clients lately.
Looks like yesterday Youtube simply stopped serving the format 22 (ytdl -f22, IIRC that was 480p video+audio) on all videos, so now anything that had this format selected as default is failing (@invidious). -f18 is still there (360p).
Interesting, but I been having issues with frontends for days now,
NewPipe and Freetube are working fine tho
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
@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.
This fixed the problem for invidious, maybe RustyTube needs something similar https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper
Invidious released a fix today: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/releases/tag/v2.20240825
so the maintainer of RustyTube can check the changes and implement a similar fix
