#Google is starting to roll out ad blocker prevention on #YouTube, Google does phased rollouts, so it might take a bit for it to affect you.

But you have options still, here's a few of them:

Piped: #Piped is a website frontend to YouTube that you can make an account on and store watch history, subscriptions, and playlists and share them with others. It blocks ads, has SponsorBlock by default. The GitHub is here (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped). I recommend Adminforge (https://piped.adminforge.de) or Hostux (https://piped.hostux.net). You can use LibreTube (https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube) on Android to sync your playlists and subscriptions, and Yattee (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yattee/id1595136629) on iOS to do the same.

Invidious: #Invidious is a website frontend to YouTube, I do not know much about this one, but it is similar to Piped with some technical differences. YewTube (https://yewtu.be/feed/popular) is one instance that I know, and here is the Invidious GitHub (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious)

NewPipe: #NewPipe is a client for Android that can load YouTube without ads, and works entirely locally. Despite the name, it is not affiliated with and can not connect to Piped. Here is the GitHub (https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe), and it is also available on F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/)

FreeTube: #Freetube (https://freetubeapp.io/) is an ad-free desktop client for Windows, Mac, and Linux that can load YouTube and stores subscriptions and history locally.

For most of these options, you can export your YouTube subscriptions at https://takeout.google.com and can import them into them.

»YouTube: Sperren gegen Werbeblocker nun global«

Auch deswegen nutze ich YouTube nicht direkt, sondern Links über @invidious* oder nutze es mobil via @newpipe*, um Videos zu sehen und so weit frei vom Tracking zu sein. Leider sind noch nicht sehr viele anregende Videoproduktionen im Fediverse zB auf @peertube vertreten.

Das YouTube Problem: meine Lösung

Mit "Invidious Router" lassen sich bequem Videos verlinken und einbetten. Dabei wird auf verfügbare und schnelle Invidious Instanzen weitergeleitet.

Obserwuję dzisiaj problemy i niestabilności w działaniu Invidious-ów, wielu instancji, więc #ElonEgo też.

Objawia się to okazjonalnymi błędami, wyskakującymi raz na jakiś czas, ni z gruszki, ni z pietruszki. Wiadomo kto za tymi problemami stoi 😉

Pomaga odświeżenie strony z błędem, czasem dopiero po kilku razach... Upierdliwe, wiem.

Śledzę temat w gotowości na aktualizację i zmiany.

Jeśli macie jakieś ciekawe info, zapraszam do rozmowy :)

Apropos #Invidious auch dafür gibt es eine App im F-Droid #Clipious . Damit kann man sich unter #Android mit seiner eigenen Instanz oder anderen öffentlichen Instanzen verbinden. Über die Einstellungen sogar bequem wechseln

So, #Youtube changed something (again) on their part and now #Invidious – a front-end for Youtube without tracking and advertising – (again) cannot play their videos.

Error message: “The video returned by YouTube isn't the requested one. (Android client) (VideoNotAvailableException)”

Bug report: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4498

So far, the other alternative front-end #Piped as well as the Android app #NewPipe still seem to work.

Last days, I improved a bit PeerTube Companion, the Web #Extension helping you to know when a video you're watching on #YouTube is also available on #PeerTube.

Last versions improved compatibility with #Invidious and #Piped, added the ability to get redirected in more situations, and provided a new Notification mode.
This mode notifies you when there is a video instead of directly redirecting you to PeerTube.

Quick tip for any budding projects out there looking to gain some legitimacy and trust ...use non-corporate tools/channels whenever possible.

Don't force your followers/communities on to or other walled gardens.

At the very least, mirror your communications on the open internet.

Abbiamo aggiornato la nostra istanza invidious per vedere tutti i video Youtube senza pubblicità nel rispetto della privacy:

https://i.devol.it

A differenza di molti altri siti #invidious sono presenti funzioni essenziali come i sottotitoli o la risoluzione di default che ora è presente fino a 4K per chi ha grandi monitor.

Permette inoltre di vedere le live che spesso sono precluse su molte istanze invidious, ad esempio la diretta dalla pozza d'acqua in Namibia:

FreeTube

Die Anwendung ermöglicht den Konsum von YouTube-Videos auf dem Desktop und schützt die Privatsphäre der Anwender:innen. Weil es eine Electron-Anwendung ist, sei zur Vorsicht gemahnt.

AVVISO

Le istanze Invidious non sono funzionanti a causa di problemi causati da YouTube.

Si prega di essere pazienti, il team di Invidious sta già lavorando a una soluzione.

Visto l'accanimento contro invidious è stato attivato il servizio Piped sostitutivo che permette di accedere e condividere tutti i video di youtube senza pubblicità e senza essere spiati:

https://p.devol.it

le iscrizioni sono aperte, è possibile importare tutte le iscrizioni e playlist! #UnoRadio

Have y'all ever tried #FreeTube ? I started using it when youtube stopped showing video recommendations to those who keep their watch history disabled (which is my case) and ngl it's a very nice YouTube frontend that also works with #Invidious , for my phone I use #NewPipe and #InnerTune

(I'M NOT BEING SPONSORED LOL)

#YouTube intensifies crackdown on #adblockers https://www.ghacks.net/2023/06/29/youtube-intensifies-crackdown-on-adblockers-with-this-new-restriction/ Content blockers will catch up, though my favorite is #Invidious at https://docs.invidious.io/instances/ and NewPipe.net for #Android. I haven't touched YT directly in years 😎

[UPDATE] Danke fuers Boosten, hat sich erledigt.

Hier hat mir vor einiger Zeit mal jemand Bzgl. #Docker und #Invidious geholfen. Wer war denn das? Ich brauch da nochmal Hilfe (hab grad wieder frisch installiert).

Danke fuers Boosten. 🙏🏼 :BoostOK:

Since #YouTube decided it's ok to inject malware to our browsers, I will not hesitate to use their infrastructure as a public service.

As luck would have it, @stfn posted yesterday a guide to #Invidious which I followed and in no time had an instance running.

It's not bad. YT doesn't serve 1080p video to third party apps, from what I understand, but I can live with that. I prefer controlling my viewing experience and not participating in their surveillance.

Wow, #YouTube is becoming basically unusable on my machine. Thankfully, #Invidious works perfectly fine.

Hejka w tę piękną majówkę końcem marca :)

Może zauważyliście, że yt.elonego.com przestał ładować wideoski. To kolejna blokada ze strony wiadomo kogo ;)

Tym razem trochę trudniejsza do obejścia, może mi zająć chwilę przywrócenie funkcjonalności.
Spodziewajcie się jutro, może pojutrze rozwiązania tego "problemu" :)

Ze swojej strony nie musicie nic robić, jeśli nie "pali się" i możecie poczekać, "samo" wróci do działania gdy się uporam z postawieniem nowej maszyny.
W przeciwnym przypadku możecie wyedytować tootki wstawiając inną instancję #Invidious w adres wideo, taką, która już obeszła problem.

I just learned that Invidious can import all manner of data from , such as your channel subscriptions.

Go to Google Takeout and just export the subscriptions and then import into

Giving it a try -- takeout takes some time to export.
