Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

Why are Piped or Invidious used here or in FreeTube? Aren't they serving the same functions?
Are you sure that it is indeed using piped or proxy instead of googlevideo.com?
The Gitlab page says it is using Piped and there are mentions of it in the app itself.
the Flatpak version isn't able to find the playlist/subscription JSON files in the file picker on my system
Random guess: Install flatseal and use it to give permissions to that folder.
You shouldn't need to do that if portals are properly installed on your system which typically is just one or two package.
tell me more, because a similar thing happened with EOG which i fixed with flatseal but pipline wouldn't find the files even when i granted it access to the whole file system
I think it may not have playlist support yet.
