Guidelines I have encountered this bug in the latest release of FreeTube. I have encountered this bug in the official downloads of FreeTube. I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed is...
My FreeTube stopped working today, so I figured others would also be affected.
The devs posted a temporary workaround on GitHub:
Set Primary API to Invidious in the General Settings
Select an Instance that is near to you, see https://api.invidious.io/. Make sure to pick one that has a checkmark in the API field. Also make sure you start typing the instance name with https:// and it should list instances as suggestions.
Disable Fallback to Non-Preferred Backend on Failure in the General Settings
Disbale Proxy Videos Through Invidious in the Player settings
This seems to be working for now, until the (awesome) devs release an update to fix the issue.
