This is too little info for us. Could u provide a few videos where this is happening for u. I cant reproduce.

[MaiaDereva]

Hi, thank you for your answer. It's happening with every videos...
I can pick some of them as examples:
inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=rklJCVvRieA
inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=PqyOi1TqZNM
inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=lAZAcyPxbUc
inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=x0AnMT9RXfU
inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=1uBfJX0BT8s

After a while, error disappears, and I can normally watch most of the videos.

[MaiaDereva]

It happened after I installed v0.16.0 Bêta when it was released.
It never happened before, with the oldest version but I can't remember its number of version (just the version before, I didn't use Freetube before that).
I thought it will be fixed but it's not so I prefer reporting the issue.

[MaiaDereva]

Anyway, I have API errors all the time. For example, when I launch Freetube, and the Subscriptions page is displayed:
Error: Status code 404

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'channelMetadataRenderer')

Error: Status code 502

• Could u try out other Invidious instances.
• If that doesnt work. Could u try out the latest nightly build and report back.

[MaiaDereva]

• I already tried many instances as I didn't choose a default one (it automatically picks up one each time I launch Freetube)
• I downloaded the latest nightly build but as I'm not an advanced Linux user, I don't know where to put these files... Can you help me?

As far as im aware u will get a zip file. U got to unpack the zip file and in the zip is an executable. Then u just need to run the executable.

OK, I succeded, thank you :)
The result is worse, i got this message:

I launched it a second time, I don't see the above HTML message anymore. But always the API errors.

invidious.kavin.rocks doesn't work anymore #2236 Sorry it works
Would you select instance from https://api.invidious.io near your location, set it default and see what happens ?

[MaiaDereva]

As I'm in France, I selected inv.bp.projectsegfau.lt and set it default (and also relaunched).
I also chose many different new videos at each time to be sure.
And I still have the same message:
'TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'baseUrl')'

[hockerschwan]

Can you open developer console (ctrl shift i ) and see which part causes error?

[MaiaDereva]

Another one, much longer:

[hockerschwan]

Did reproduce this on ubuntu 20.04 & Windows 10.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'baseUrl')
at eval (Watch.js?5b49:425)
at runMicrotasks ()
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96)

1. Set API to Local
2. Set Language to anything but English (US, UK or System)
3. Watch any video with caption and receive error.
   With caption: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=PqyOi1TqZNM
   Without caption: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=F_tlGJLXwSI

[MaiaDereva]

Right! If I choose English (US or UK), everything's fine.
If I choose System (which is French here), the errors appear.

With the AUR freetube-git built today:
PR resolved this issue for the video player page, but for the channel, the error still shows.
