FreeTube bug: videos don't load, player continuously flickers
My FreeTube stopped working today, so I figured others would also be affected.
The devs posted a temporary workaround on GitHub:
- Set Primary API to Invidious in the General Settings
- Select an Instance that is near to you, see api.invidious.io. Make sure to pick one that has a checkmark in the API field. Also make sure you start typing the instance name with
https://
and it should list instances as suggestions. - Disable Fallback to Non-Preferred Backend on Failure in the General Settings
- Disbale Proxy Videos Through Invidious in the Player settings
This seems to be working for now, until the (awesome) devs release an update to fix the issue.
