Error messages when attempting to view videos posted by others

I often get the following messages at the shroomery:

"yewtu.be took too long to respond"
Is this the website or is it something on my end, such as cache or cookies? It happens on my PC and phone.
I can view videos I post and sometimes, after getting these messages, I can view videos posted by others if I try again a few hours later or the next day.

Show a linked example that has given you an error...
Is it only with Invidious? Have you change settings to play on YouTube instead Invidious .
Tried different browsers , which?

This plays just fine now, but here's an example:
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28608931#28608931
Quote:
INVIDIOUS
search LOG IN Can't load the video on this Invidious instance. YouTube is currently trying to block Invidious instances. Click here for more info about the issue. Original source code / Modified source code Documentation Released under the AGPLv3 on GitHub. View JavaScript license information. View privacy policy. Donate Current version: 2023.12.16-4065b0b @ master
I clicked the message and it wanted me to log into "my account" but I don't have and invidious acct, had never heard of invidious before this message and I don't have Invidious. Further reading said i needed to log in to "my" Github account to fix this and I also don't have a Github account.
This happens to me on my phone using Chrome and pc using MS edge.
No, haven't changed settings because I never changed them to use invidious in the first place, don't even know how to change them. I'm just trying to figure out if this is something on my end or if this is the shroomery (since it only happens here).

So this is apparently a known issue caused by recent anti-adblock measures implemented by Youtube. I switched us to using a different instance of Invidious, which advertises the use of an IPv6 rotator to avoid Youtube's blocks. Hopefully this will fix things for now, but Youtube has been getting more aggressive with these kinds of tactics lately so I wouldn't be surprised if there are problems again in the future. Please keep me posted!

Well, at least I've been getting new and different error messages for the last couple days. 
"Playback cannot continue. No available working or supported playlists."
and
"Datura Network - IPv6 rotating instance - Onion Link - Matrix Chat - Local Proxying + Dash by default (since 02/11/2023)

FYI, it's not a big deal to me, just letting you know about it.

Hmm, that seems to be related to DASH support, which is a streaming protocol used by many Invidious instances. I'd need to find an instance which doesn't implement DASH but does use IPv6 rotation, and I'm not sure if there are any of those. Have you found any Invidious instance that you're able to use reliably?
Also, if you're experiencing this error on Windows, please make sure you have the AV1 codec installed.
