Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

We need a competitor badly.

Whatever happened to dailymotion?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Does anyone really post anything to Dailymotion besides blatantly unauthorized TV stuff? I can't imagine it'd be very good vibes for anyone trying to make an honest living with original content over there.

Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That's why I stopped using it.

iirc they tried to become a tiktok clone, no idea how it went but considering i never see anyone talk about it i doubt it went very well

I used it a bit because its also on Grayjay but its pretty terrible and focuses a lot on big media than individual people
