I have been using freetube for a while now which is also facing this issue so it looks like a tug of war between the clients and YouTube which is getting others in the crossfire as well. But for some reason, when I add haruna as external player in freetube and launch a video it always works. Guessing other video players like vlc might also work which you can use with freetube and maybe other privacy focused clients.

POV 3 years from now: YouTube won’t let me watch a video unless I do a nazi salute

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

I thought about making an *arr application for automating the downloading of your subscribed youtube channels and in quality you want. I want to call it yarrtube. Idk if anyone would be interested or not so only been a pipe dream.

I mean that's a way to check for bots

welcome to my life

As someone without a YT account, I have seen this with regards to age verification (on rather random videos, actually), but not with "you might be a bot" reason.

Since I always browse with VPN + lots of privacy protections, I feel like half the websites I visit think I’m a bot. It’s a pain in the arse.

Turns out reCAPTCHAs aren't actually 'tracking the way you move your mouse' but just trying to match you to one of the billions of statistical models held in Google datacenters that represent the device fingerprints, personalities, locations, and preferences of every Internet user they track.

And when they fail to match you… then they presume you're not a real person.

Just turn off these plugins and VPN boy, it is safe here 🤡

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is usually because they're using a common VPN service. I've found that connecting to Ireland gets me past this prompt more often than not, but that likely won't last long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

VPN Ireland has been my go-to for years. If it stops I'm gonna be pissed.

I'm once again asking you to host Invidious (alternative YouTube frontend) locally on your PC.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The real problem is that it's a pain sometimes and the fact they suggest to restart every hour is even worse. Recently, I had a problem where it started to play some videos and then stopped the playback and from there it went in a reloading loop till you get something like

Refreshing does nothing. Restarting is the same

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

IDK about invidious, but on Piped I had to add a container that grabs POtokens for the Newpipe API to use to pull videos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For me, it's running for months and I had to load new image updates sometimes, because YouTube likes to break it, but this was maybe once a month...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most of the times it works but sometimes it's just a pain to deal with the problem I mentioned. Do you restart it once in a while?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Maybe, once a month when YouTube breaks their site and a video does not load via Invidious, I execute

docker compose pull

docker compose down

docker compose up -d

to load the latest images and usually, it works again.

I have no automated restarts every few hours or days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I have to see and solve this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How does one embark on such a journey?
