So Freetube got hit with 403 errors again. I tried to open a video in the embedded player and I keep getting hit with them demanding I log into to prove I am not a bot. Is anyone else getting hit with this?
Yes. YT constantly thinks I’m a bot, so I watch some freetube channels in a yt window while logged in. 50/50 atmo. Annoying, but perhaps an addon to freetube could fix some of it by detecting/playing same video/channel on other open platforms, or a common distributed video cache perhaps. crossing my fingers for any solution soon…
YouTube generally does that when I’m viewing embedded videos on a VPN. Works fine if you’re logged in and viewing videos on YouTube itself.
This has been happening all weekend, I use a vpn and often change servers to get something to play. But refreshing with patience and at times shutting down freetube then restarting has helped. It has been a huge pain lately for sure.
