Freetube `[BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block or streaming URL deciphering failed` is fixed
If you use Freetube, you haven't failed to notice that Google is on the war path again and broke it a few days ago. See this bug report.
Please note that it's been fixed in this PR. If you download the nightly build #5652, it now works like a champ.
Thanks team Freetube!

LETS GOOOOOOO THANK YOU FREETUBE
I appreciate them and their work so much. They must all have a thick skin to deal with users every time stuff is broken.
FreeTube is one of the last remaining youtube frontends in the game. Piped got nuked, Invidious is still kinda fighting.
...for the desktop.
Newpipe and Grayjay are still going strong on Android.
There is also a NewPipe flatpak available on Flathub.
Oh wow interesting. Thanks!
I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.

Awesome! I didn't know. I'm gonna try it now. Thanks!
Oh thank god.
Need github account to download 😿😿😿😿
Codeburg and gitlab very outdated repo. Anywhere else?
FreeTube is great! I'll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me--when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they'll figure out how to fix it like they always do.
Hell yeah! Glad I wasn't the only one with this issue...
How does one download this? I visited the page but the named artifacts (linux-amd64 etc) don't show as links.
Where is the download links for the new nightly builds?
