      IIRC the main reason it isn’t enabled by default is because >=1080p is only available via DASH. Normally Invidious can just point the client to fetch videos from Google’s servers, but for technical reasons DASH requires the Invidious instance to act as a proxy (the client asks the instance for video data, then the instance fetches it from Google and sends it to the client). The net result is that watching 1080p streams requires much more bandwidth from the server.

    this is and looks awesome! quite polished. the audio-only mode is fantastic, didn’t even know i needed that.

    side-question: being not quite familiar with hosting… is the linked instance the one you set up, but with the GitHub code people can make their own?

      Yes anyone can host Materialious on their own server! Does require you to host Invidious too.

    This is brilliant. Works pretty well.

    Heads up for anyone trying to replace their redirector. It uses /watch/<videoid> instead of watch?v=<videoid>.

      Yea I’m planning on adding support for watch?v={videoId}

        Thanks a lot of making it. have been having a lot of problems with piped failing. this looks and works great (for now at least).

        Another tiny little nitpick is that there’s a white flash before the page content loads when the interface is set to dark. it would be nice if it would be set to dark too.

        Thanks again!
