So what is this, replacing it with an invidious-hosted embed?

  Probably it's resolving the direct video (and/or audio) links and setting those as the source in the video tag. Like using the -g option for yt-dlp.

    Ah, interesting! I didn't think of that.

    Could u explain how that works or what to do?

      https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp has reverse-engineered YouTube, and can take a video ID and figure out the direct video link. The --get-url, or -g option will return that URL.

  I bought it. Here's the actual code it injected for a video: https://pastebin.com/fue6KWME https://pastebin.com/fue6KWME

    How do you think they got that source url?

      If it was me, I would have looked at how youtube-dl does it.

    src="https://manifest.googlevideo.com/api/manifest/hls_variant/e.../file/index.m3u8 https://manifest.googlevideo.com/api/manifest/hls_variant/e.... how? looking at YT code all it returns is 2 combined audio/video formats in ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.streamingData.formats and the rest is separate ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.streamingData.adaptiveFormats HLS/DASH is no longer being send, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.streamingData.hlsManifestUrl is missing
