Videos looping infinitely in SABR requests and becoming unwatchable.

Comments unavailable to read because of “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘endpoint’)”.

These have been a problem for like at least 2 weeks now. Before there were like 3 refreshes due to SABR and you could open up comments by spamming the button despite the error.

Now however, it’s completely unusable.

Is this the death of FreeTube? I’ve really loved this software and would hate to have to permanently return to the website with all that tracking bullshit and no offline subscriptions :(

edit: An update was released, it is now possible to watch videos but the comment section is still broken.

    Nope. As a longtime user of FreeTube, breakages like this is entirely normal. Give it some time and the devs will find a fix.

    For what its worth, I usually rely on Invidious when Freetube breaks. So whenever Freetube breaks, try seeing if Invidious works. As a last resort, you can always use mpv + ytdlp.
