  • Invidious v2.20241110.0 - Fix for "Youtube API returned error 400" error

    social.tchncs.de Invidious (@invidious@social.tchncs.de)

    Hello everybody! We've released a new stable version of Invidious, which fixes the very annoying "Youtube API returned error 400" error on the channel pages. It however does not change the video playback capabilities of Invidious: currently a PO token/visitor data pair and inv_sig_helper are requi...

    > Wrap-up

    This release is most importantly here to fix to the annoying "Youtube API returned error 400" error that prevented all channel pages from loading.

    If you're updating from the previous release, it provides no improvements on the ability to play videos. If updating from a commit in-between release, it removes the "Please sign in" error caused by a previous attempt at restoring video playback on large instances.

  • Remember when a new major version meant something major changed?

    Was nice as it prompted me to go read change notes. Now I have no clue when it’s a collection of minor things or has actual major changes unless I go read every set of change notes.

    Now-a-days most of the (browser) software projects are following agile mode and not waterfall mode delivery.
