Did the others all decide to quit or is there a practical reason?

Apart of Invidious, also FreeTube, which works with Invidious, don't work well anymore, it listed the searched Videos, but they are not playable. As workarround I set the SMplayer as extern player, so I can watch the Videos, clicking on the little icon down left of the Video Thumbnail, or open the Video direct in the "Open URL" of the SMplayer. This still works fine, also with the URLs from a lot of other streaming sites. SMplayer is the Graphic interface of the Mplayer. Anyway, Google is killing all front-ends which cut of the Video ads. I think, there is a need to search an alternative to YT (maybe Odysee?)
