For the past few weeks I haven’t gotten any videos in a resolution higher than 480p. Anyone experiencing the same?
So far fine in FreeTube, touch wood.
Yeah, FreeTube has been really solid for me. I’m dreading the day YouTube go the server-side ad injection route. It’s surely inevitable, unless the costs to implement it outweigh the lost ad revenue maybe?
I’m resigned to probably giving up youtube (at least for a while, as the ad cat and mouse continues) in the not too distant future. Little of value will be lost… and going back to seeing ads is not worth the price.
I don’t think it’s related to poor quality of video
Oh ok
Yup. I’ve resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV
What’s MPV?
I’d like to do the same, however on VLC (in Linux)… is there an easy way? (sorry for my ignorance)
Yep, I’m also in the dev’s matrix chat and it’s pretty much been cycling through working and broken for pretty much everyone :(
Yeah. I think it’s because YouTube is cracking down on frontends. https://yewtu.be/n_hSdCMRE10
