Describe the bug

When clicking on a video, it will load up, and then it will starting bouncing the screen up and down. This only happens when it is on the Local API. It works fine when I switch to Invidious API.

Expected Behavior

The screen should not be bouncing, making a video unplayable unless it is switched to Invidious API

Duplicate bug, but yes, +1 to reporting this bug.

The same has happened today on my forked version, which is based on FreeTube v0.20.0

I suspect in may has something to do with Youtube breaking youtubei.js ,giving unprecedented results when trying to fetch video, and FreeTube GUI reacting to those result.

The "bouncing" comes from changing size of video window inside video player.

@CelularBat do you think they're doing this on purpose?

i had the exact problem as #5459 so i thought to switch to a different instance, but then it transformed into this... MINUS switching APIs. every single API is doing this
