[Feature request] Take Out JSON Data No Matter What

2024-12-09 17:59:38 -03:00

I was secretly waiting for this inv_downfall to happen, just to raise this issue.

in near future (after nadeko is fixed), could we get a 100% guaranteed ability to extract invidious data (JSON file) no matter what happens with the instance?

yeah that should be fairly easy to make. I'll do it when I have more motivation and more free time

I would like to second this request. If I knew how to help, I would work on it too, but I am wholly unfamiliar with how this stuff works on the backend. Perhaps it's possible to make pages with account info ignore the problems that bring down the whole thing otherwise?

Also thank you for the reference to what went wrong this time. I noticed it affected all public instances and was scared the project had completely died without me being able to pull a backup of my data. I'm glad I can at least pull a backup now, thank you!

Ive been using invidious for a while now because YouTube just kept getting worse and more irritating to use. Google keeps trying to horde as much data as it can from its users and reducing user privacy by making it so that you cant even view videos on the platform via a VPN. And more of this greed is evident with them trying to destroy invidious.

I just use invidious because of many reasons, like the free sense of control, not being as monitored, and just not playing into their hands.

I'm no expert with these sorts of things so i dont know how difficult it may be for you to resolve this issue or if its even possible. The most i can do is hope and i wish that your able to fix this issue. As far as i know inv.nadeko.net was the only invidious instance that i could use reliably for the last 2 months or so.

Anyways i hope that your able to find the motivation and time to resolve this issue, and thank you for being my go to for the last few months.

Is the JSON dependant on the backend? How are you going to extract it if the server is down?

If not, can you just insert the download option on the 502 page?

No. I can just replicate the queries that Invidious does on a custom program made to handle data deletion and data extraction.

If not, can you just insert the download option on the 502 page?

I can also do that.
