Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.

Yeah have been using inv.nadeko.net as FreeTube broke for me. Unfortunately there seems to be some kind of bandwidth throttling as I’m getting 720p videos only (my internet is fine for 1080p and I was getting 1080p on FreeTube).

The limit is 1080p, because there is just a lot of traffic. Allowing more than that, will lower the capacity of people that can watch at the same time

Have you made an account? I think doing so makes a new “watch-id” that gets around the throttling.

Can’t you just set inv.nadeko.net as the default instance? I thought Freetube was an invidious client, no?

  No, FreeTube is its own thing, but it can fall back to an invidious instance. Idk why it fails for me with inv.nadeko.net as my default instance though.
