I host my own instance of invidious behind a reverse proxy. It’s awesome. I use Redirector for Firefox so that when I’m on the interwebs, YouTube videos and embeds redirect automagically to my self-hosted invidious instance. I used the setup instructions in the Invidious-Redirector documentation.

Recently, I was on a new website and the embed didn’t redirect. I tried to figure it out, but couldn’t. The best I could do was try changing /embed/* to /oembed/* but that didn’t work.

So I thought I’d ask here: How would you go about setting up a rule or multiple rules to sort this?

Edit to add: If you go to the new website, make sure you either have AI chatbots blocked in uBO or create a rule ||autonomoustechnology.ai^. Otherwise there is an annoying AI chatbot that pops up that you’ll want to block.

The next release normalizes every ID in the database into a single format. It runs a one-time migration on first start. The PR with this change will be merged this weekend: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/pull/5824

If you run develop or auto-update, this lands soon (this weekend) and without warning. Make a backup of navidrome.db now. The migration is one-way, so rolling back (if needed) means restoring that backup.

The short version:

• Takes ~30s to ~1m20s on my 96k-track library (QNAP Celeron). Scales with library size.
• Everyone gets logged out once. Web UI and clients using the Navidrome API need to log in again. Subsonic clients authenticate per request, so they are unaffected.
• Song IDs change, album and artist IDs do not. Clients that cache song IDs (offline downloads, cached playlists) may need a re-sync.
• Cover art gets re-fetched, so the first browse after upgrading is slower.
• Share links keep working.
• Nothing is lost: favorites, ratings, play counts, bookmarks, play queues, scrobble history and Last.fm / ListenBrainz links all survive. No rescan needed.
• One manual fix: .nsp smart playlists using inPlaylist or notInPlaylist keep the old playlist ID on disk and need updating by hand.

If you can, please test it with your favourite client once it is merged, and reply here (or on our Discord) if anything looks off.

EDIT: For app/client developers: I’ll merge the topSongsByArtistId PR at the same time as this ID migration. This means that you’ll be able to detect if a server is migrated by checking the getOpenSubsonicExtensions response and looking for the topSongsByArtistId extension.
