    FreeTube supports external players, if you use it as a tool to find videos instead of watching them, it works fairly reliably, such breakage of feed grabbing hasn’t happened in years. Then you just grab the videos with MPV via yt-dlp, not only MPV is a much better player than practically anything else, but yt-dlp contributors are much faster at figuring out problems and implementing fixes.

      This latest problem wasn’t with playing videos on FT, it was with finding and fetching the feed/list of videos for your subscribed channels. IOW if you directly pasted in the url for a video it would play just fine, you just couldn’t fetch the list of available videos directly from FT.
