If you successfully deleted the Invidious instance, you should be getting Red X's on everything in the "Test".  No green checkmarks should be showing.

Can you post some screenshots of your Settings? (use the little camera icon above to upload images)

I can only reproduce the issue of the the "Video Load Error" if I select an Invidious Instance (ie. invidious.jing.rocks) and then select Invidious as the backend.

If I use Playlet as the backend, everything loads and plays fine.

If I follow the developer's suggestion to remove the Invidious instance completely (so that it shows nothing at all in the instance box), then I can select both Invidious or Playlet as the backend and the videos will load and play just fine. (I have tried a bunch of the live cams and no issues).

Give me a specific title of the cam you are trying to watch and I will check if there is a feed issue.

Plays fine on my device. (By the way, that is not a live cam but an older country song.  Good band).

When you deleted Instance, and then performed the Test, are you now getting all Red X's?

Re: Playlet channel not working

Try using an alternate method of using Playlet and see what happens.

You can use Playlet through a web browser on a laptop, or use it on a mobile phone (using the Youtube app).

Try the mobile phone method. (The instructions are under "Remote", directly under the Settings in Playlet).

1. Install Youtube app on phone/mobile device.

2. Go to the Remote section in Playlet and select "Link with Wifi" (use the arrow keys).

3. In the Youtube app, search for a video and then press the Cast button on your phone and select "Playlet on Roku Device".

4. Then press Play on the video in the Youtube app.

Your Youtube video will now be sent through to Playlet.

The other method is to use a web-browser on laptop (Select Playlet Web App) and follow the instructions there.

-----

See if you have any better results using one of those two methods.

I prefer using the laptop (Playlet Web App) but use whichever one is easier for you.
