YouTube with recommendations based on what you watch and subscriptions
YouTube with recommendations based on what you watch and subscriptions
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.

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.rocksalso seems to work well.I'll give it another go with your suggestion
I was having the same issues and switching worked. Thanks for the tip!
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.rocksalways works for me. I also run my own private instance on a VPS, so far it never got blocked.Cool story
Bruh, you are either unlucky or your ip itself may be bad and gets blocked by cloudflare wich i think the piped.video and kavin.rocks are using.
I selfhost my instance too at home with a VPN for the api and video proxy and its nearly flawless.
I selfhost my instance too at home
Well that explains why you're not having problems. Most people are not doing that.
I didnt say that i allways use my instance, i use some of the public ones too with very few being slow due to many people using them. If one doesn't work try another.

The underlying issue is youtube rate limiting the video proxy, so if the instance is trying to play 10 videos at once it will get ratelimited.
The solution to such problem is either complicated or simple. The simple one is try to convince your favorite creators to use other platform then youtube for example peertube, Odysee or rumbl.

I already said that I tried pretty much all of the public ones. I am not the only one with this problem (including OP) so I think it's fair to recognize that it's an issue with the service.
