@MigratingtoLemmy you are wrong though. They are adding tokens and signatures, without them the videos aren't playing. But I just updated my invidious and it's playing fine again => it's not an IP block (yet), it is a change in the youtube media api, so the players need to be changed too = effectively a player block.
TBH unless this is a coordinated effort against Invidious and other apps or should affect a lot of other things too. Or does this change not affect embedded media in pages?
@MigratingtoLemmy Yesterday I saw a broken embedded video on LinkedIn so.....
Oh well. Thanks for correcting me. I guess they're trying to play hard
@MigratingtoLemmy Yup, there are even some similarities from the Twitter/Nitter fight - tracking tokens, IP blocks, API limits, ... Get ready for youtube requiring login to watch videos.
I'm heading over to Odyssey/Peertube the second they tell me to sign in to watch videos.
