Invidious and many other third party players are currently completely broken due to YouTube rolling out a new proprietary streaming protocol.
There are working fixes - and the new protocol, although not implemented in invidious - has a few open source implementations. I cobbled together one to integrate with invidious yesterday before swapping back to DASH after they fixed it. If they ever disable DASH for all the other clients, there are fallbacks in place
