Invideous Broken PythonToCppException

Using kodi 19.4, I get errors when trying to use the app that prevent me from using it

Here's the log kodi.log

[0x004a]

This Invidious Add-on isn't working for the latest LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi 4.

Not sure why, but looking at repository, seems to be using the instance "invidio.us", which just redirects to a list of instances: https://redirect.invidious.io/

Could it be changed to "yewtu.be" ? It's an instance that seems to work very well.

@0x004a you can already enter your own URL in the settings. I'll change the default to some working instance, though.

Is this even related to @Arndorferd's issue, though?

No, probably not. Was just a guess.

But same latest version "Kodi 19.4" on LE RPi4, it's not working either. Currently surviving the torture by sharing NewPipe videos to Kore, that shares to Kodi.

I can confirm this once great plugin does not work at all on Libreelec 10.0.4 (Kodi 19 Matrix) on the Raspberry Pi 4... :(

Could it be a missing dependency? I get this when trying to run the script manually from within LibreELEC:

projector:~ # python3 /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.invidious/resources/lib/invidious_addon.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

It can't be changed to yewtu.be anymore, since it has API access disabled. [source]

Atm I think an instance like https://vid.puffyan.us would be a better choice.

Edit: Ahh, disregard this. In recent commits I can see the default has already been changed to a working instance. It just hasn't been released/published to the Kodi repo.
