Is freetube broken again?

Using mullvad VPN. Keeps giving me the bad https status 403 message no matter which server I switch to. Anybody else having this issue or has workarounds?
Same here without vpn. Getting by using embedded yt player, but not optimal. Seems that freetube users could win if we had a common cache like ipfs where watched videos are stored. If one user gets the whole video, everyone have access to it via ipfs. There would still be trouble with rare videos/first view, but YT would probably not block an ip if most of the yt videos where loaded from ipfs instead ?
Just a quick thought.

That might be a big scope increase compared to the type of software it is currently, but what a great idea. Maybe file a feature request in their github project?

Yup, I guess it's happening again... I tried to watch different videos, but I kept getting the http error.

It's happening to me, too. No VPN. They always fix issues like this pretty quickly (couple days or so). It's always a constant battle to handle youtube's ongoing attempts to block them.

FreeTube is not working for me either. For now though, I can get the preview and then copy the URL for videos I really want to watch. Then I grab them with Open Video Downloader and watch it in VLC.

external player (haruna in my case) invoked from freetube works fine.

I have found this thread on Endevaour OS forums where the OP looks for viable options:

Yea It's been pretty annoying so I've just been using Grayjay with "Provide YouTube activity" disabled(that may be by default?)
App's still in Alpha but it's been stable actually, unlike the first two time I tried it, rather convenient all things considered.
Funnily enough PipePipe still works for me on mobile. Idk about NewPipe however. Worse come to worse I'd just download something with Cobalt.tools set to tunnel files for me.

As of March 29, Version 0.23.3 seems to have fixed things again, if anyone finds this thread now.
