Starting 01 September Piped started giving this error after sign on and clicking on any video.
Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.exceptions.ContentNotAvailableException: Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.checkPlayabilityStatus(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:898) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.services.youtube.extractors.YoutubeStreamExtractor.onFetchPage(YoutubeStreamExtractor.java:784) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.Extractor.fetchPage(Extractor.java:60) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:77) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:72) at org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.stream.StreamInfo.getInfo(StreamInfo.java:67) at me.kavin.piped.server.handlers.StreamHandlers.lambda$streamsResponse$0(StreamHandlers.java:54) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:317) at java.base/java.lang.VirtualThread.run(VirtualThread.java:329)
Maybe it has something to do with YouTube being currently blocked in Russia (where I am trying to access it). Please, check if it is possible to fix this error and continue watching YouTube via Piped. Thank you!
Thanks for the reply. Does that mean that Piped uses a single IP for the proxy and cannot open any videos because of that? That kinda sucks because I really liked this service and it no longer works…
In a very simplified way, yes. That’s why I’ve been thinking we need something more radical, something where different Piped/Invidious servers can talk to each other and bridge between them to appear more distributed.
This sounds like a great idea. How should we contact Piped admins to request this feaure? Does Piped work for you at the moment and what country are you from?
I guess through their repo. It does not work very well, lately, if at all, in all instances I’ve tried.
My country has no issues with YouTube, if that’s your question.
