Add Invidious support

[ghost]

I would love to see an option in NewPipe's settings, where you can choose to connect to the Invidious network instead of YouTube, and also be able to change instance. What I know of, Invidious does not have any app for their service. Why not change that? 🙂

I agree with this. It would also be nice to be able to use our own instance.

It's good move, but it'd even better to completely "disconnect" from YouTube (and other google services) by using Invidious API instead.

Would love to see this!

This would be awesome 😍

I think users should be able to add invidious instances just like you can add peertube instances. And have invidio.us as the default instance.

Invidious is not a network like Peertube, but an interface/proxy for YouTube. It should be able to redirect incoming YouTube URLs to selected Invidious instance.

@danialbehzadi But there's different Invidious instances. For example the load on the main one is pretty bad, so if someone wanted to selfhost their own personal instance or use a friends they'd have that option to specify which one. Not exactly the same as PeerTube, but kinda the same idea just as a wrapper frontend

@grravity That could be easily done with an entry in settings, just like NitterizeMe is doing.

@danialbehzadi Yes ofc, but I was just clarifying I believe that is what he was asking for

This would be amazing! Being able to use Invidious and never connect to Youtube
