As the title says, no video playing, no matter what instance I seem to choose. First time I've had any real issues, is this possibly due to Google's impending clampdown of third party apps...๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I got so sick of Libretube not playing or instances dying. NewPipe is your friend.

Can't find the word privacy anywhere on the NewPipe site. NewPipe seems very popular and has its own F-Droid repository for faster updates but supporting Invidious and Piped.video would have my personal vote. Just my two cents.

Piped is my go to on PC, I forgot about Invidious, so thanks for chipping in ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

On desktop there is also https://freetubeapp.io The Private YouTube Client with lots of features.
