Context: for certain channels, videos will not play and will keep giving the error seen in "Reference 1", and when I attempt to download the video to watch videos from these specific channels an error says that I'm not allowed to see them (Reference 2). I have also tried downloading the videos from other places such as YTMP3 and still get a similar error.

Looks like the instance was blocked by YouTube. If it's an instance you host you should try setting up the IPv6 rotator and if not you should use another public instance.

I've tried with other instances but it doesn't work still, It's only specific channels like Second Thought that don't seem to work, this has been happening across all instances

[syeopite]

Ah I see.

I went to check on the specific video you mentioned and it looks like the video has been age-gated.

Invidious is able to bypass some age restricted videos but not all of them. And in this case the Second Thought video is unable to be accessed.

See #2189

[unixfox]

There is no fix.
