The instance `invidio.us` seems to be down at the moment. Also of interest: #23

Why not pick from the top used instances https://instances.invidio.us/ instead of statically specifying it ? |

Do that, please :)
This appl is really wonderful.
How should I update it when you add the auto instance?
Should I "git pull"?
Where exactlly?

For me, invidious.fdn.fr and invidious.13ad.de seem to work the best.
I'm considering adding support for --instance=auto, which would
automatically pick an instance from the top ones.

For using the development version, see: https://github.com/trizen/straw-viewer#try If you're using Arch Linux, then you can simply reinstall "straw-viewer-git" from the AUR. |

Nope. Debian here....

Is this the same as the Mine seems to mention |
|
Yes, Since Maybe picking a random instance would be a clever thing to do? Edit:
|
Provided via:
straw-viewer --api=auto
or by setting in the configuration file:
api_host => "auto",
The list of instances ("instances.json") is cached locally and updated automatically every hour.
In order to distribute the load evenly across the invidious instances, when "api_host" is set to "auto", straw-viewer will pick a random instance every time the program is started.

Does anyone else get this or is it just me? and a 500 error on invidious.13ad.de, which looks similar to the above. Last time I posted here 6 days ago, I changed the api line inside strawviewer.conf to |

Same errors here. It looks like yewtu.be disabled the access to the API on purpose, while

I've noticed that it will be difficult to use this straw-viewer
from now on after the omaroh dev dropped invidious...
Such a wonderful app, this one...
It is really annoying to keep guessing and trying new instances,
Then instances move away, do not work, disappear, etc...
:(

Hi,
Is there a way of add a code in straw-viewer to choose an option out of
a list when a instance fail? Like so:
$ straw-viewer
$ Which instance would you like to use?
a) yewtu.be
b) invidious.snopyta.de
c) invidious.13ad.de
e) etc...
It would make more sense than to suggest only another instance...
Thanks anyway...

@trizen great! Thx |

What do you guys think of this instance?
It asks for bitcoins.
Do you know if it has cryptomining acting behind it to mine computers where
it is being used?

Thx

No issues here with invidious.tube, both inside the browser and in straw-viewer. On the other hand, I use ublock and I have set my browser (brave) to the strict level of content blocking. The only flaw I saw was that clicking on |

Great!
I also have brave here.
Although I use waterfox with noscript, ublock, privacy badger
In all my browsers.
Unfortunatelly qutebrowser does not allow me to use noscript.
I also found that qtox and xscreensaver was eating lots of CPU power...
But, I can suspend those when I do not need them...
Thx for straw-viewer and keep up the good work...

Could we make a list of the best working invidious instances here:
//yewtu.be -> seems to work -> which others?

Yewtu.be does not work for me as seen on the error above. It may be geo-restricted. while yesterday it used one located in France (invidious.fdn.fr). |
|
What are the steps for me to update straw-viewer?
Do I have to reinstall it again?
Thx

I updated straw-viewer to 0.0.9 last night, I set api_host to "auto" and I
am happy so far. Stream load a lot faster than before.
Using the --debug parameter shows me the instance it currently uses, e.g.
now it decided to use invidious.site
** GET https://instances.invidio.us/instances.json ==> 200 OK (2s)
:: Found 3 invidious instances.
:: Changed the instance to: https://invidious.site
while yesterday it used one located in France (invidious.fdn.fr).

Since you are on debian (like me) that does not package straw-viewer, these are the steps I do to "install/update" straw-viewer (and youtube-viewer in the past). a) I have created 2 folders in my home dir, ~/bin and ~/lib. The first is used for the executable and the second one is for the libs it needs (the libs folder here on github). Also, this bit is needed in my ~/.bashrc to make everything work b) Every time a new version comes out, I download the zip file from the releases page and I extract straw-viewer inside ~/bin and the WWW folder inside ~/lib, so it looks like this p.s. It obviously needs some perl dependencies, which I installed via apt. |

Thx for the hint ;)

May I ask what you guys consider a very reliable instance of invidious? I have set "api_host" to "auto" and it used to work nicely, no matter the host it selected. |
|
There was an YouTube change recently that affected the search results of all instances. A reliable instance seems to be |

I am switching to that instance then. Thank you. |

Ok. I've used
//invidious.snopyta.org/
before, and had some problems with it,
Now I've used
//yewtu.be
for some time without issues

To be honest with you, I am really fed up with all those changes in invidious and/or youtube lately because I can not find an instance that works 100%. And I am facing all these in kodi's addon for invidious, so I have "double checked" what say above. I respect both devs for their work, and I know it is not their fault, but some things need to be said. If the api has issues, the "best" instance is the one with the fewer problems... and I am still searching for it. |
|
Yeah. Me either.
By the way, I have used straw-viewer and most times it works fine.
Have a look here:

One does not return any results, one does return results for videos but
not for channels, the next one is slow af and so on. I think that the
numbers in instances.invidio.us simply do not reflect their true status.

Hmmm... I know straw-viewer. In fact, this entire discussion is done in straw-viewer's github page :P |
|
@pitsi I'm currently experimenting with pipe-viewer, which is a fork of straw-viewer. The main goal of this fork is to remove the dependency on invidious instances, by parsing the YouTube website directly in a similar way like NewPipe does. If everything goes according to plan, then pipe-viewer will be a much faster and reliable alternative to straw-viewer. |
|
Sorry for bringing this back up, but do you guys get... results from your searches? I get nothing for the last 3+ days and I think it is an api issue because I face the same thing on kodi's addon for invidious. |
|
I had the snopyta one on both until Monday... In the kodi addon though the story is a bit different. The snopyta one returns results for videos but not for channels, while the kavin one returns no results anywhere. I am off to upgrade to v0.1.2 (and pipe-viewer to v0.0.4). |
I was reading reddit earlier and I came accross this, so I thought I should mention it here since straw-viewer will probably stop working after that date

It seems that the site will be shut down on September 1st. The api will be shut down on October 1st, so I changed the title.
