What's the detail with YouTube videos on this instance?
If I'm on this instance, videos in a post don't render. Instead I see a big black window with this error text.

Watch video on YouTube
Error 153
Video player configuration error

You can just right click the link and go to youtube to see it, its not a complete disaster.
I do sort of need to figure this out tho. I'm doing my best to mod a music comm, so the videos are pretty important.

I've tried testing from other instances ... and there's no problem. I have accounts on eviltoast.org (regular lemmy) and moist.catsweat.com (mbin). No problem viewing those same posts from either of those instances. I didn't even notice the issue until I started using my sh.itjust.works account regularly.

It doesn't seem to matter who made the post or how old it is. When I'm logged into my sh.itjust.works account, all of the youtube posts show the black window.

I normally use firefox+adblockers, but I have sh.itjust.works whitelisted in ublock. I've also tested in my completely clean Vivaldi.

I've tested from various machines. I consistently see the empty black window only when I'm viewing these posts through the sh.itjust.works instance.

I'm a newbie mod, but this is not even a mod thing. I'm just reading a post here. Basic internet stuff. Got any help for me?

Crobot is a very unusual group. The lead singer is quite good and entirely mad. The band is tight as hell, its complex stuff. I don't know if this makes any sense, but they have elements of Soundgarden and Monster Magnet, maybe a bit of Savatage. Ya, that didn't make sense.

Crobot is opening for Corrosion of Conformity's tour. I'm gonna see COC tomorrow, so I looked up the opening bands.

"Golden" is "a tribute to Chris Cornell." This was the first Crobot song I heard. Yesterday. I've played it a couple dozen times since then.

When your golden cage is empty.
And you've made your great escape.
They can do what they want with your flesh and your bones.
But your soul they cannot take.

"Golden" immediately set me back, made me try to put them in a category, figure out what kind of music this was.
Right. Good luck categorizing Crobot. This was one of those groups where I had to chew on everything they've done, multiple times. I still can't tell you what kind of music this is, but it was a satisfying meal.

Crobot has at least 6 albums, recording since at least 2011.
They have a website where you can buy their merch.
Their youtube is well managed, ton of videos, and their full releases on this page.

This band is gonna test the limits of 'stoner rock'.
I am a huge Mac Sabbath fan. I like cleverly dumb shit with a point. They are definitely that.

The Alladin Theater is gorgeous. I got a balcony seat on the rail. Awesome view.

What can I say? Ronald and the boys rocked the fukin house. This is no joke band. Oh yes, they tell some jokes. Terrible jokes about being 'drive thru metal pioneers' and how everyone is copying them. Awful, dumb jokes. I love it.
But this is legit rock. These guys kick ass.

I guess I should sort of explain their shtick.
Ronald thinks he and his compatriots are sent back from the future, or maybe from the 70's, and they have a mission to warn us all about the dangers of fast food.

For the uninitiated, Mac Sabbath is commonly viewed as a parody of Black Sabbath. Not so!
Before Ozzy passed, I would have said that they are a takeoff on Ozzy and Black Sabbath.
Since Ozzy passed, they are still that, but the last third of their show is a legit tribute to the original band. Ronald comes out in all black and plays it straight.

This might ruffle some feathers, but I think Mac Sabbath is better than anything Ozzy did in the last ... oh ... 35 years of his life.
Here. Let me prove it. They played for Ozzy. Private party. He was dumbfounded, amazed, and loved it.

Mac Sabbath are afraid of digital recording gear, and won't record a fuking album.
Everything I've heard has been live shit on youtube. They have a channel. Check them out!

Oh, if I may start a bit of controversy (besides the Ozzy bit) I have a theory that the band's manager, Mike Odd, is also Ronald. You never see them in pictures together ...
But ... or maybe this is more suspicious ... I spoke to the Employee of the Month, who also ran their merch stand and asked him if Mike and Ronald are the same person. He acted as if he wasn't real happy with Mike, but he's like "Yes, he's the band's manager." I repeated the question, and he's like "What?!? No, they are not the same person." Methinks thoust deny too much ...

Do yourself a favor. See Mac Sabbath in concert.
This is a very live act. They don't give a shit about anything but entertaining people live.
See the whole show. They either bring along a group of excellent unknowns with their own weird schtick, or they do big gigs that also hire other clown acts like Puddles Pity Party, weird shit like the Juggalo gatherings.

DO NOT leave early. Mac Sabbath will always have their opening bands come and join them for a couple numbers. It's a riot of a close. FFS they are doing Sabbath songs. Everyone knows them. I wish I got a pic of that, but I was busy thrashing my head.

The first Clutch album was out of sight. All of it was so cool.
Some of Clutch's later music isn't quite what I'd call stoner rock, but this sure is.

It doesn't get any more spacey than Spacegrass!

I've seen Clutch play small rooms. Catch em live, if you get the chance.
