Could not extract video info. Instance is likely blocked. #1365

I have created this instance, invidious.site It was running fine till yesterday, and from today it says this error message, "Could not extract video info. Instance is likely blocked. " on every video page.

Can someone help fix this? Does it say that youtube probably blocked my server IP from pulling video information?

Yes. Setup anticaptcha.

@TheFrenchGhosty Thanks for your response, but now the videos seem to play without issues.

Can you please direct me to guide (if any) to configure anti-captcha or help me get started by pointing the right files that needs to be updated.
