I never have this problem using uBlock Origin.
Or mpv + yt-dlp
Just get rid of the entire shitty website. From rss reader straight to the video.
Youtube blocks vpns if you’re not signed in so I need to keep changing my end point until I get an IP they don’t associate with vpns to use those.
Can you explain your setup? I’m interested
Im on linux and thats all i know, so if you arent i cant help ya…
You can install mpv from your package manager. This should automatically install yt-dlp as a dependency, but probably not the latest version which is very necessary.
That means you have to get the latest version from the github https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#release-files Just take the first thing in the table.
yt-dlp | Platform-independent zipimport binary. Needs Python (recommended for Linux/BSD)
This yt-dlp file will have to go into your /home/user/.local/bin/ folder, so that it gets used instead of the outdated version installed by your OS when mpv looks for it.
That should be the basic setup. To use it you just do
mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0in your terminal, which will open that video. In my RSS reader i can define a custom browser application, so i just give itmpvas a browser, that way i dont have to open a terminal every time.If you want to have a button that redirects youtube vids from your browser to mpv, that requires some more tinkering. If you wanna do that i can write another comment.
I’m on Debian. Which RSS reader do you use? Is there a fuzzy search for YouTube?
Im using
quiterss. Its kinda old so you might miss a lot of modern features.It only takes proper feed URLs like this https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCuNy42Y5egf07cSiHbF23wg so you gotta get the channel_id from somewhere, but you can also just import an .opml file that you exported from another RSS reader.
Im sure there are better ones but i just need keyword filtering and categories so i have somewhat basic needs.
Kinda suspected this was coming when this happened less than two weeks ago.
librewolf and ublock have never failed me before
Fuck yo terms of service!
God I hope that youtube becomes inviable, it would break so many addictions
GOOGL knows that to become a long term successful company in a world of 4.50% interest rates, that P/E of 21 and dividend yield of 0.49% are barely cutting it.
They can no longer push popular platforms like YouTube as a loss leader.
Now, I kind of feel bad for them… 😟
My self-hosted Invidious instance is still going strong
Wow thanks for mentioning this
I’m planning to set it up. Any advice or for it work out of the box?
Invidious is switching to a new paradigm where the part that talks to YouTube will be split out into it’s own service called invidious-companion. While not part of the current release, they have instructions for setting it up, and it’s what I’m currently using. The only things that don’t work right now are live videos and the Clipious Android TV app (the phone app works fine). If you don’t need either of those things, I recommend starting with invidious-companion
Super easy fix. Go Gecko!
Said it before and i’ll keep saying it. Youtube breaks my adblocker, i’m out of there
What’s been working for me so far is just hard reloading the page, after that it seems to forget all about it so long as i’m on the same tab, though it also works just fine to keep making new tabs and hard reloading every time.
