Invidious: [improvement] Adding the youtube video link when Invidio is down.

Created on 27 Nov 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: iv-org/invidious

Hi,

Like lots of people, I had the message "Could not extract video info. Instance is likely blocked" ...

The prob is that we only have this message and nothing else. I think it's could be cool to add a message like "you can watch it on youtube directly via ...." with the link.

Today, I have to copy the link from the url and paste it in youtube.

For information: the reason is because my main goal is to delete my google account once a day (hope this year) sadely, youtube block the process. But what I use in youtube is only one fonctionnality, the subscribe, and it's almost the same in invidio.
Watching the vidio on youtube because invidio is down is not a issue for me, for a short period.

But yesterday, impossible to have the link...

Thanks a lot.

I think both would be the best solution as often times when one instance is blocked, it's very hard to find another that's working.

would be great if this will be also in place with "Service is currently unavailable, please try again later." and 500 server errors.
