Can anyone tell me what's up with LibreTube not playing videos recently?
It's probably due to Invidious and Piped instances getting rate limited. LibreTube uses them as the source of the videos, i think.
But what makes me wonder is that I can use Firefox to play videos from the Piped instances I use, yet not in LibreTube when I set the same instance.
Invidious and piped had issues with youtube blocking them, but the instances I use work fine again now. They even blocked my self hosted invidious instance which I use maybe once a day lol.
