Change the Proxy Videos Through Invidious setting to only apply when using the Invidious API
Pull Request Type
Description
Users have often been confused that the
Proxy Videos Through Invidious
setting applies to the local API too. Additionally if you have that setting turned on and the Invidious instance you are using is having problems you just end up in an endless loop of Invidious failing (deceptively the error message gets shown as aLocal API error
but it's still Invidious that is causing it).So as discussed in the Matrix chat this pull request changes the
Proxy Videos Through Invidious
setting to only apply to the Invidious API. I haven't changed anything about the settings page other than the tooltip text, as it will still proxy the video if you fallback to the Invidious API when the local API errors.I have updated the tooltip text for most languages, but skipped the right-to-left languages as editing the strings in those files is messy if you don't understand the language, so I'll leave those to the translators on weblate.
