Neither newpipe nor libretube work for me anymore for a while now. Is there an alternative?

Edit: when using my vpn it is blocked. Without von it works fine

    Yeah, youtube breaks things all too frequently, and a lot of the time these projects can't push out updates fast enough. A lot of invidious instances sadly don't work (as of the last time I checked them, a few days ago), but a few usually work because they merge patches before upstream does. inv[dot]nadeko[dot]net comes to mind.

      Some other good instances:

        I almost thought you were that bot that changes youtube links to invidious ones, lol.

        Yeah, those tend to be good (well, tux.pizza is a bit of an exception, it shows the error that the others fixed). It's a little annoying that a lot of the invidious instances that work won't show up when you do the "switch instance" thing on an instance that doesn't work, but it makes a bit of sense, not wanting to get overwhelmed, or trying to not get too noticed.

          In most cases it's just too annoying of a process to get on the list. But I understand why the invidious team prefers to vet instances rather then have something like a beacon system that auto populates all consenting instances.
