Last two weeks every time I use Piped I am getting error “Sign in to confirm you are not a bot”. It happens on every instance and videos work very rarely. It seems like Google enforces you to log in if you try watch lot of videos from one IP. I hope this will not be end of Piped and there will be solution for this problem.
Upd. I got similar problem on Invidious recently

The instances list is not up to date :
https://piped.smnz.de/watch?v=bBhDWTZDH9c
There’s probably more working instances.
Plan B : I guess running your own Piped instance and not sharing it with a lot of people could be worth considering.
Personally I’m sticking to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yt-dlp#Faster_downloads for the video downloading I do.
Same error on smnz.de
Works for me still (Using Tor browser. I’m Europe located).
In LibreTube doesn’t work
Indeed. I tried on mobile with LibreTube and with Mull and both fail. And also fails now in Tor browser. The list is getting shorter.
