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.

Thanks for this! Usually when something weird like this happens, I'll just sigh, update the package and hope.
