I tried to watch a video using my tokens but the /videoplayback request returns error 403. I deleted the tokens from my account and now every video works on every backend. Not sure what is happening here.

Fix? Idk I don't have time to fix it now.

Maybe you can't use the same token for the same video but on a different backend?

Maybe the IPs that I use for external proxies got blocked? If yes, that would be pretty bad.

No fucking idea kms

yeah the IP got fucking blocked or some shit fucking shit google. I'll fix it tomorrow.

If invidious is slow it's because of the lack of bandwidth. Too many people is using it since it's the only one alive lol!

Also try https://invidious.catspeed.cc. Spread the load across instances!!!!!

yes it did happen. its like that since you fixed it with token generation. feels like some regional block or something. what works on one backend often cant be reproduced on another backend.

most of the time I find myself switching between backends as I watch american vs asian stuff

maybe we need one token per each backend instead of one token per all 4 backends? dunno, just an uneducated guess.

Token generation has been disabled. Everyone will be using the auto generated server tokens for now.

I already do that btw. Each backend has their own token.
