Until recently, it was possible to download #Youtube videos on a library PC & store on USB drive by using an #Invidious front-end. Recently the library has blocked all invidious instances. You can still view videos but when you try to download one it gives a 403 forbidden error.
Why are they doing this?
I can only think of two possibilities: 1. bandwidth limitations 2. copyright issues. Anyone know anything solid about this?
Suggestions on other options would be appreciated. I assume users cannot install their own apps, which means front-ends that need installation are problably a non-starter. It looks like there is a web-based front end called #Piped but many of those instances are hosted with the same domain as Invidious thus may be blocked as well.
Ouais pour le coup je vois pas le problème non plus. Parce que l’alternative, c’est pas de laisser les gens télécharger à tout va, mais de débrancher le rj45
