Serde error on every video on rustytube.rs

[Asdow]

See screenshot, clicking any video from front page or through search results in these errors. This on Firefox Nightly

This is an issue with all Invidious instances.

For now, I recommend using FreeTube as it has a local parser.

I'll look into implementing a local parser myself because Invidious has not been very reliable lately. For example, anotherInvidious issue where comments do not load on any video.

On the plus side, SponsorBlock and more soon™.

I'm getting the same thing on windows; at one time it was working for me. I pulled the latest and tried today and all the videos say Serde Json Error. Any suggestions on debugging are appreciated.

Fixed on the web version now :)

I do not have time at the moment to spin up VMs and compile it for Windows and Linux.

i pulled latest and ran cargo tauri dev; the serde error is gone, the videos and text are all grey flashing boxes. It then gives a "Network Error: TypeError: Failed to fetch"

I understand the time constraints. Have a great night.

This is because a lot of the Invidious servers simply do not work. The one I use is invidious.nerdvpn.de.

Ideally, we should have an invidious.rustytube.rs. However, as you already mentioned, I do not have the time to do that.

There is support for custom servers but there is no UI to add them.

Just to report back it did work with the server you mentioned. I still see some serde errors but the program is usable. Thank you.
