Re: YouTube rate limiting 3 years ago

From Mason Hock to ~cadence/tube-devel

FYI, tube.cadence.moe is rate limited again.

I've thought of another suggestion which may be a little less ideal than
automatic instance rotation, but potentially simpler to implement:  In
addition to a default Second/Invidious instance, also define a fallback
instance to attempt when the default instance does not work (e.g. due to
rate limiting).  For now a relatively reliable Invidious instance like
invidious.snopyta.org might be a reasonable choice, and the user could
customize their fallback instance on the settings page like they can
with their default instance.

start watching the video they were looking for using the new instance.
Cadence instances could have an internal list of known Invidious and
