Is it possible I am being rate limited so the thumbnails aren't loading?

Do you use DeArrow for thumbnails? I've found that disabling the setting shows all thumbnails again.

@HairyMilkshakes RSS is being forced to avoid rate limiting but RSS was down and is working now. Do you still experience this issue?

This solved the issue for me, thanks!

Doesn't seem to be an issue as soon as I disabled the thumbnail processing through DeArrow.

How to fix this while still using the dearrow thumbnails though? Is it stricly Dearrow's fault?

FWIW, LibreTube android app is able to load both dearrow titles and thumbnails correctly. So it doesn't seem to be Dearrow's fault.

I'm wondering about this as well. DeArrow is useful to me, and I don't really think just turning it off is a great solution 😔

@HairyMilkshakes Could you please reopen this issue so I don't have to recreate it. Turning off dearrow is NOT a fix for whatever is going wrong.

1. Enable "Use DeArrow for thumbnails".

2. Enter a valid DeArrow Thumbnail Generator API URL. I used the default (https://dearrow-thumb.ajay.app), but the field should not be empty to ensure that FreeTube actually attempts to generate the thumbnails.

3. Search for something, and you'll likely find at least one broken thumbnail.

For reference, this is what my "About" tab looks like:

Hope this helps 🙏 💜

From what i can see its trying to do the following:

1. Replaces thumbnails in search one by one
2. Finds a video that doesnt have a replacement thumbnail
3. Tries to replace it anyway
4. Shows broken thumbnail

We should just skip that video if there isnt a thumbnail available. That is only if this is an issue on our side.
