That's why the new YouTube design is loaded five times slower in all browsers except Chrome

If you or anyone else ever wants to watch videos with any privacy, there is a new way that doesn't use youtube's api called:

https://invidio.us/

Try it!

It is also faster too!

Not working.

It mimics the old Hooktube but the video can't play. YT changes its code again.

Before I came here, I had been on Invidio for 90 minutes and the videos are playing for me.

I'm still using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.0.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Xfce). The only addons I have installed are NoSquint and Adblock Latitude. ABL was enabled also. I've got linux Flash 30.0.0.154 activated too.

Below is the last invidio video I watched just about 20 minutes ago (as of this posting). The title is "Great White Bonus Session".

I just switched over to my windows hard drive which is using 32 bit Pale Moon 28.0.1 running in 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. Then I clicked on the link I had just posted above and guess what, the Invidio video (Great White Bonus Session) played just fine.

Again, the only two addons (extensions) I use in windows Pale Moon are NoSquint and Adblock Latitude. ABL was enabled just like I have it in linux. And I've got windows Flash 130.0.0.154 installed and activated too.

I would blame uMatrix for that.

Yes, it works.

No "Download" button, sadly.

No "Download" button, sadly.

Tried with the video that Night Wing linked, and default MSE settings.

Context menu > Save Video As... worked fine.

I get blocked and it's not browser related (https://invidio.us/watch?v=4WR9itFGeU4).

No problem to view the video on YouTube.

Seems that Google changed YouTube player code today and no third party tool can extract video/audio streams URLs.

I just clicked on the link again and now it doesn't work. I get a prompt which states:

"The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

I think their sever might be down at the moment. I'll check back later and see if it is working. BTW, that 70 year old, 235 lb guy sup surfing in that video is one of my online friends, Rick Weeks, on the Standup Zone who lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

...and now it doesn't work.

That video no longer plays for me either.
The issue isn't site-wide though. Just now, of the forty videos displayed on the front page thirty-eight did play.

The developer is aware of the problem:
Invidious' github repository, issue# 151.

As commented here, the non-playing videos on Invidious are fixed now.

I use to it to with a GUI.

Can't handle the command prompt, BTW.
