      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.
