Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

I've used freetube for a while and it seems like it's expierencing the same issues since I've been getting a lot of error messages lately.

FreeTube also is based on Invidious instances, changing the instance may work, but better to set the SMplayer as extern player, then you can open the Video in this player which works almost always.

Thank you for the tip. Hopefully that'll fix the issues I've been having.

Yes, if you find a workng Invidious instance it's ok, but if not, FreeTube without SMplayer is useless.
