I've just noticed piped.video can still be used for playing videos. It's just that the public instance at piped.video and some other instances require registration.
@Archos and friends, please have you explored ways to eventually host it at @Oscloud ?
I'd host it my-self but I don't have a spare machine at the location with suitable ipv6 range for being somewhat resilient to youtube throttling attempts.

Thanks for considering
