This is the first time i witnessed, that every single instance doesen't work. Did that happen before?

How are you using it? If you come across a youtube link, do you run yt-dlp on the command line and then watch the downloaded file in a media player? Asking because I'm too lazy for that, and interested to know if there is some fancier way.

I've heard that often and i'm pessimistic about it in general. Although there might be some hope, because the channels Invidious users might prefer (nerd stuff) are more likely to move to an alternative, than others.

I often use mpv with a yt-dlp hook, which means I can basically just do ``mpv youtube.com/watch/whatever``, and stream the video in mpv.

Yes, the problem seems to only affect public instances, the Invidous' developers suggest running an instance locally to avoid the issue.
