Yeah the Google captcha keeps getting in the way. I use GrayJay as an alternative.

Works fine for me over Tor.

I am having this issue. I am watching this thread then

Same, although I use a personal VPS rather than a VPN.

I've been running into this all morning: [BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block, streaming URL deciphering failed or music video geo-block
Switching VPN servers doesn't resolve.

I'll look into it. Thanks.

Same. Seems like YouTube is back on their anti VPN and frontend spree which will inevitability have a workaround and then they'll be at it again. It's cyclical at this point.

I'm curious, why do you use that over a VPN?

It’s on aurora store or you can directly download it from their GitHub.

I'm seeing the same, not even using a VPN.

It gives me exactly the same message but I'm not using a VPN. When I use the external viewer option with mpv using yt-dlp I only get video without audio. I can download the video fine using yt-dlp and then watch it with mpv, but if I try to stream to mpv while downloading to watch it real-time it gives an ffmpeg error: can't recognize format... weird.

Less likely to be blocked, both by the censors and by the target websites. Actual flexibility in what obfuscation method to use. Can be a convenient proxy rather than a full-device VPN. Can host other things there, or use it as a static IP to access things hosted at home.

It is in Futo's own F-Droid repo. But there have been license issues so that it is not actually open-source, and I prefer Newpipe (or, rather, Tubular now, because Sponsorblock) anyway.

I completely forgot about repositories in F-Droid. This is very helpful, thank you.

This has been, and will probably continue to be, and ongoing issue. Google is working hard to block VPN and Data Center IPs at a network level when using their API. Usually we get patches within days when an episode like this flairs up, but some times that also triggers even more action from Google to change their methods.
Constant cat and mouse game. I usually try FreeTube first, if that fails I'll try 2 Invidious instances that usually work well (one self-hosted, the other inv.nadeko.net), then I try Grayjay, and failing all of that I'm just not watching the video right now.

Same here, whether I'm using VPN or not.

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?
