Had an autoplay and caught its url as coming from the yewtu.be one.

yt.cdaut.de is definitely not autoplaying had embeds to it on multiple threads and no autoplays.

How much traffic do the redirects send to the instances? I hope this doesn't inadvertently DDOS a bunch of random invidious instances.
 
I am getting weird auto-plays all over the place. Rama Rama randomly started playing in a thread which I assumed was just autoplay but then I had random audio start up in the new threads section which was very weird because I don't even know where whatever those videos are being sourced.

I'm not able to replicate the auto play. Auto play in general should not be a thing in any modern browser.

First video on this page did not autoplay.

Video at the bottom of the same page did autoplay

This with brave and the only extension active is Dark Reader. It took loading 5-6 pages with embedded videos to get one to autoplay.
 
Cool and good work/idea. I was always a little careful when clicking on links to sites that i might have been logged into already for just this reason. But it was a question in general for certain sites.
 
Inserting a YT video doesn't seem to be working for me.

Tried embedding a youtu.be link, then tried a youtube.com link, both via the "insert media" feature.

Tried two different YT videos. Tried logging out and back in. Tried on .st and .net. Same result on all permutations.

Keeps saying the Oops pop-up with "A server error occurred. Please try again later."

Phonefagging on Android + Brave (yes, shameful, I know).

Tried with shields up and down - same result.

The problem I see isn't really the repository for Invidious itself so much as the instance operators themselves - unless I'm missing something, if they keep server logs instance operators could infer that a given user is likely (though not certainly) browsing KF, at least for sufficiently obscure videos that are unlikely to have been embedded using that instance anywhere else.

I'm getting the same error.
 
@Null This appears to have broken a lot of historic image posts. I've been trying to catch up on the last image you saved thread and suddenly most of the posts are broken links. To check if it was me or (probably) this change, I backed up to the past several pages that I previously had no issues viewing before today. Those are broken as well.

Here's where I first noticed it - https://kiwifarms.net/threads/last-image-you-saved.46849/page-311
But it appears to go on for a very long time. When I go to random pics and gifs the newer posts are all fine, so something changed in the past few years on how pictures are uploaded?
