metiis / invidious-redirect Goto Github PK

Please add the ability to change the invidious instance domain. For example someone wants to use anothers instance or his own private one.

Every video link I open redirects to the same video.

Please stop this practice. Adding it serves no purpose and is breaking many of the available invidious instances because they already use subdomains.

Example: invidious.snopyta.org
If you add a www. to it, it becomes www.invidious.snopyta.org and won't load because it's not an existing domain.

hi, thanks for this addon, brilliant.
I have 1 niggle: whenever i access a youtube page and your addon redirects it to Invidio.us, i can no longer press "back" any more in the browser, it's like the history is forgotten. So this is a request to A) either make it so that the history remains, or B) add the option that the redirect happens in a separate tab, so that the original tab goes to youtube, and i can press "back" on that tab

invidio.us will shut down on September 1st. See https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

Try with any privacy-friendly embed YT video: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/...

There is code for YT-nocookie.com

Probably same for youtu.be.

Using DDG's !yt bang, !yt foo outputs https://www.invidio.us/results?search_query=dark%20series%20intro instead of https://www.invidio.us/search?q=foo

Would it be possible to add a button to the toolbar in future versions, so that the add-on can be quickly enabled or disabled?

Hi. Thank you for this great extension!

Just one thing I'd like to change: Every time I want to watch a video that someone links to it seems like I first have to go to YT before getting redirected to Invidious. Wouldn't it be possible to just rewrite the link before I click on it?

Thanks!

Add-on fails to install on Icecat. Says its corrupted. I found a workaround however, by adding this to the manifest.json:

  "applications": {
      "gecko": {
          "id": "address@hidden"
      }
  },

Consider making it possible to redirect youtube.com/embed to full invidio.us instead of also /embed. This would make it more convenient if someone (like me) blocks scripts and can't play the embeded video directly on a website.

How make my personal site of Invidious becasue I would like to

Would be nice to have this extension on Firefox mobile too.

Currently requests to youtube will still hit their servers and only then the content script is loaded, which in turn redirects to invidious. Consider to instead register an onBeforeRequest listener, which can cancel the request to youtube and redirect to invidious.

Something along the lines of

"permissions": {
  "*://*.youtube.com/*",
  "*://*.youtube-nocookie.com/*",
  "*://*.youtu.be/*,
  "webRequest",
  "webRequestBlocking"
},
"background": {
  "scripts": ["background.js"]
}

browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(request => {
  const url = new URL(request.url);

  if (url.hostname.endsWith("youtube.com") || url.hostname.endsWith("youtube-nocookie.com")) {
    const v = url.searchParams.get("v");
    if (v) {
      return {redirectUrl: `https://invidio.us/watch?v=${v}`};
    }

    const q = url.searchParams.get("q");
    if (q) {
      return {redirectUrl: `https://invidio.us/search?q=${q}`};
    }

    const searchQuery = url.searchParams.get("search_query");
    if (searchQuery) {
      return {redirectUrl: `https://invidio.us/search?q=${searchQuery}`};
    }

    if (url.pathname.startsWith("/channel/")) {
      return {redirectUrl: `https://invidio.us${url.pathname}`};
    }
  }

  if (url.hostname.endsWith("youtu.be")) {
    return {redirectUrl: `https://invidio.us/watch?v=${url.pathname.replace("/", "")}`};
  }
}, {
  "urls": ["*://*.youtube.com/*", "*://*.youtube-nocookie.com/*", "*://*.youtu.be/*"],
  "types": ["main_frame"]
},
  ["blocking"]
);
