I've been using Invidious and NewPipe to watch YouTube for a long time. I don't use an account with either of these. However, I'm wanting to get recommendations based on what I watch and my subscriptions. LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works. When I try to watch videos it won't play. YouTube Vanced is dead. Not sure if another viable solution exists.

LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works.

You just need to switch to another Piped instance in the settings. You need to click on the three dots, then select settings, go to ‘Instance’ and at the top you can hit ‘Choose…’ to change the Piped instance. I haven’t experienced any issues with adminforge.de. kavin.rocks also seems to work well.

I was having the same issues and switching worked. Thanks for the tip!

I'll give it another go with your suggestion

I switched between instances constantly and they never worked. I don't know how you guys are using this.

I just disabled Piped API and never had a problem again.

kavin.rocks always works for me. I also run my own private instance on a VPS, so far it never got blocked.
