Stuck on Loading

[r3k2]

Hello, when I try to watch a video from my feed, it just get stuck on "Loading" I have deleted the config, relog into my instance with token and still problem persists..

Did you try changing instances as well? Change an instance, open the queue and press enter on a queue item to reload it.

@darkhz ok I did that same result when I press enter I get mpv: unable to load video or similar is super fast so cant read the whole thing.

Try loading the stream manually:

• Press ';' on a video item to open the link popup, copy the invidious link.
• In another terminal, type mpv <your invidious link> and see if mpv actually plays it.

@darkhz ok I did this, same result :( [edit] after a while waiting I got this error:

 mpv https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=BgzTAG_Vhn4
[ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] BgzTAG_Vhn4: Video unavailable. This video is not available
[ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred
Failed to recognize file format.
Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

Ah, then this has something to do with the stream, youtube-dl or mpv.

I've been having the same problem since around a month ago, and in my case, MPV is able to load videos correctly. However, and sadly, invidtui has stopped working for me. Every video/audio that I try to play fails with the message "MPV: unable to load [video name]". I just tried manually copying the Invidious link and opening it with MPV and it works.

@Leblake can you provide the link of the invidious item which you are trying to play, so that I can test it as well?

[Leblake]

Here's the link: https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=-_70t906txA. Happens with all links, can't use invidtui anymore. :(

The issue was found, apparently invidtui is using invalid parameters while sending files to MPV. A fix will be issued soon.

Wow, that was lightning fast. Awesome work. :love_you_gesture:

[darkhz]

A quickfix has been released for now. This issue will be closed, and maybe later a status screen may be implemented, so that the user can monitor the stream that is currently being loaded, for potential errors, if any.
