    The real problem is that it’s a pain sometimes and the fact they suggest to restart every hour is even worse. Recently, I had a problem where it started to play some videos and then stopped the playback and from there it went in a reloading loop till you get something like

    Refreshing does nothing. Restarting is the same

      IDK about invidious, but on Piped I had to add a container that grabs POtokens for the Newpipe API to use to pull videos.

      For me, it’s running for months and I had to load new image updates sometimes, because YouTube likes to break it, but this was maybe once a month…

        Most of the times it works but sometimes it’s just a pain to deal with the problem I mentioned. Do you restart it once in a while?

          Maybe, once a month when YouTube breaks their site and a video does not load via Invidious, I execute

          docker compose pull
          
          docker compose down
          
          docker compose up -d
          

          to load the latest images and usually, it works again.

          I have no automated restarts every few hours or days.
