Change after Invidious close it's API on Oct 1st

October 5, 2020

Invidious closed it's major instance on Oct 1st “https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues", this is the only API YToke~ uses to search for Youtube content.

The invidious site has changed to a redirect page that allows user to select instance and open the same page but hosted on other instances. Unfortunately we can't use main API as well.

So a hot fix will be to change the API end-point to some other instances API, this will give YToke a quick fix, to allow it to keep functioning, but as we don't know how stable those APIs are, there might be potential issues with only points to one API.

I think the right fix is to make the original API point to be also a redirect, or supply a list of available end points just like what the UI does. This I will need to contribute the original repo, I will see what I can do to contribute, this should be done and it could be me doing it.
