I can't use Youtube Alternatives (frontend)
Hello everyone.
Please tell me which youtube frontend do you use?
I see only 3 invidious.io servers https://api.invidious.io/, and when using https://tube.cadence.moe I get an error (screenshots below)

FetchError: invalid json response body at http://newleaf.alphamethyl.barr0w.net/api/v1/search?q=esim reason: Unexpected token '<', "
If I use Piped I can't say video.
I would appreciate your advice.
Maybe use yt-dlp, I don't know..
I watch videos on https://inv.nadeko.net (usually brought there from my RSS client).
Thank you, yes I know that one option works (the one you indicated) but usually I saw about 10-20 servers, now it’s 3-5.
Since June, YouTube has been intensely trying to block Invidious: https://torrentfreak.com/youtube-orders-invidious-privacy-software-to-shut-down-in-7-days-230609/
The nadeko.net instance has a workaround to avoid blocking: https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious/wiki/Generate-a-po_token-and-visitor_data-for-inv.nadeko.net
That workaround requires running nonfree JavaScript, right?
To play the video on YouTube that gives you the visitor_data and a po_token, yes. Then, no. You copy them to https://inv.nadeko.net/preferences (which should not be opened in private mode, in my experience), save the preferences and GNU LibreJS does not complain when videos are then played on https://inv.nadeko.net

It does not work all the time.
