(you could make a function to check those domains automatically)

Disclaimer

i'm using a VPN, maybe my IP is blocked but those are the invidous instances that work for me.
Maybe some work for you and some may not!

:heart:

im doing an invidious health check site, that runs differently from api.invidious.io in a few different ways

health is given by 4 factors: ability to load videos, playlists, channels, and searches, if the instance can do all four, then it may be flagged as a "hot" instance, meaning users will be recommended that instance
users can add instances by clicking a button, which is part of the frontend i will do in a bit
for each region, americas, europe and asia, there may be 10 or a 100 sites stashed (stored and not used), only 4 instances per region can be "hot" at the same time, as im aware that google is keeping a close eye on any invidious listings to block them. I don't want to make it too easy for them to blacklist all instances

so basically, instead of handing out address of all instances, which may make the instances easily blocked, the site only gives 1 instances to the user and hides all other instances, currently working on the UI

I think i might be doing something wrong. If i change the invidous instance on main.yml, instead of getting the "Invalid request: This helps protect our community." i just get "Invalid type: null, expected a string". Any ideas?

Oh ok. Well i hope you're able to do it, i really enjoy it. I know close to nothing about programming, but if there's any other way i can help just let me know.

ok i realised what had happened, so i was updating the invidious crate to try and fix the issues, and all the tests on the invidious crate are passing, but... i erm forgot to make youtube-tui use the up to date version of invidous nothing is fixed.

anyhow, there should be no more parsing errors for now, if the instance is not blocked, then it works on youtube-tui

try installing with

cargo install --git https://github.com/Siriusmart/youtube-tui

also, i dont know if the updated mpv bindings is gonna work, because as i am aware some distros have slightly out of date versions of mpv, and thats the reason why i kept the old mpv bindings for the crates.io version as i dont know if the new one will work for everyone (whereas the old one doesnt work for me)

if u would tell me ur distro and mpv version, that would be great

mpv --version

So, i installed it using the cargo install you provided and after changing the invidious instance everything seems to be working fine.

Im running Arch wiht KDE Plasma (Wayland) and $ mpv --version mpv v0.38.0-dirty Copyright © 2000-2024 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects built on Sep 4 2024 19:59:01 libplacebo version: v7.349.0 FFmpeg version: n7.0.2 FFmpeg library versions: libavutil 59.8.100 libavcodec 61.3.100 libavformat 61.1.100 libswscale 8.1.100 libavfilter 10.1.100 libswresample 5.1.100
