Error when trying to do access contents with Invidious on Kodi

[vanfanel]

Hi there,

I am running KODI on the Raspberry Pi4, and I have manually installed the Invidious plugin.

However, everytime I try to do a SEARCH, or access the MUSIC section, etc... I get "Invidious error: check log"

And here's what I see in the log:

It goes on, etc. But I believe it must be something easy on my side, since nothing seems to work. Any help, please?

snopyta.org respond with a 403 to our requests, I'll try to investigate why. in the meantime you should set your instance to one that still answers correctly. invidious.tube was working as of just a couple of minutes ago....

p.s.: when invidious.io becomes available it will be the new default

@lekma Thanks for your answer :)

EDIT: I got it to work!! Thanks a LOT! I have missed youtube access on KODI.. :)
