YouTube.com - 'ascii' codec can't encode about pyload HOT 13 CLOSED

Works for me. Youtube plugin has recently been update, maybe last changes have fixed the problem.

Try to download the last version from here and put it in your userplugins/hoster folder.

from pyload.

If someone will has same problem (it exist even with latest YouTube plugin installed on OpenWRT backfire), I found a workaround. It's quite dirty, but downloads will work.
What need to do: In ../pyload/module/plugins/hoster/YoutubeCom.py file just add:
.encode('ascii','replace')]
at the end of line:
name = re.search(file_name_pattern, html).group(1).replace("/", "")
so it will loks like:
name = re.search(file_name_pattern, html).group(1).replace("/", "").encode('ascii','replace')]
and all non-ascii chars will be replaced by "?", however downloads will start working.

Thanks.

I tried again to downlod that file and I get the output file name exactly as it is, with all the special chars.

I can't understand what is wrong with you. Try to execute:

pyLoadCore.py --debug

and post me the log when it prints the error.

from pyload.

I think my problem can be with Router TL-MR3220 OpenWRT backfire and python packages (there is only one availible - 2.6.x) . I wrote this solution only for (I believe) very small group of people who can see similar errors.
Here is log:

Non utf8 systems often have problems if the content is not decoded to unicode, which may be the case for the filename.

from pyload.

Try using:

name = re.search(file_name_pattern, html).group(1).replace("/", "").encode('utf-8','replace')

instead of ascii should preserve special characters.

from pyload.

It looks like it doesen't work. Download not starting, with status "failure". However there isn't any printed error message, even in debug mode logs.

from pyload.

Another solution to try:
add at the top of the file:

from unicodedata import normalize

then change the line to:

name = normalize('NFD', re.search(file_name_pattern, html).group(1).replace("/", "")).encode('ascii', 'ignore')

This should convert special characters to their most similar value in ascii, so Cześć will became Czesc.
I know it's not a perfect solution, but it's better than replacing with ?.

from pyload.

I have checked it a moment ago, and it works exactly as You described, downloads works fine. IMO it is very good and sufficient solution, far better than replacing by "?" and can be added to next plugin version. Thanks.

from pyload.

UTF-8 systems like mine can download files with special characters in their name without problems so it's not a good idea to convert them even if the system can handle them. Maybe we could use a try-except statement to handle the situation with this workaround. Stay tuned.

from pyload.

Please download this and test it.

Doesn't Work, download not starting, status: failed.

@RaNaN says that the upcoming pyLoad version will handle the encoding problems in the core so the plugin should not be modified. Please use the workaround until the next version will be released. Thanks
