Since a few days, im unable to watch any youtube videos with any foss clients(Tubular, NewPipe, etc...), is that a consequence of youtube starting to do ads injections ?

Edit : Libretube seems to work, thanks to thoses who mention it.

    Seems like something was changed by G*ogle which broke Newpipe's extractor. It's used by Newpipe, Tubular and Piped so all three broke. Invidious and Freetube work for now. Freetube is an app so you can try that if you want.

    Pipepipe (its on fdroid) is the only one that got an update so far but I'd expect an update to others soonish. It seems to be some sort of change under the hood. But it seems to have been figured out

    Also if using an android box smart tube next got several updates today and that is working

    Check the newpipe debug apk its working I guess. Libretube is working fine. I think invidious works too.

    Haven't been able to open homepage on my main account since yesterday. It just says "something went wrong" every time. Not sure what's going on with youtube rn
