Describe the bug
Search works for most keywords, but when the search terms trigger youtube's "showing results for xxxxxxx Search instead fo xxxxxxx", the search() function has a

(node:8684) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 
'videoId' of undefined
at Object.parseSearch (C:\Users\xxxxx\Projects\Music\node_modules\scrape- 
yt\dist\common\parser.js:142:30)

To Reproduce
Use search function with any "typoed" keywords as search query. search(keywords)
Some example keyword combos that result in error:

• pompei nightcore
• helllo
• pewdiepye

Expected behavior
Should return normal search query results like normal without errors

I want to store the thumbnail url (which I presume is a string) into my database, and the field of where I store the thumbnail is type String

However, I receive this error

Interestingly, some songs are able to store the thumbnail url as a string (coverImage field)......

Hey! Great web scraper btw, it's a great alternative to the youtube search api v3. I mainly use this web scraper to get the video id's of a certain search query (such as getting the video id of a music video)

I am making a web app that displays the music videos of old songs, and so far, your scraper allows me to successfully retrieve the video id. For example:

So, url is basically the id of the first index of the results I get back from your module

However, sometimes the web scraper retrieves the url of an advertisement since it can accidentally scrape the first video (thinking that all videos in the search are going to be related to the video). Thus, I get something like this:

Is there a way to filter through the advertisements so that the results can strictly have an array of the related videos? Thanks!

Describe the bug
Getting an error 302 after running a test script with 1 video search on an aws instance

To Reproduce
create aws ec2 instance
run

scrapeYt.getVideo("84N7ZOnXB6").then(videos => {
    console.log(videos);
}).catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
});

Expected behavior
should return the video information

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context
im running fine on my windows pc
but from my ec2 instance in aws its getting this error

hey would it be possible to get the url of the video thumbnail on the getVideo() like the search()

scrapeYt.getVideo('u1P1nkbuz6k').then((videoInfo: Video) => {
    console.log(videoInfo);
});

{

The youtube scraper was working perfectly fine before and using the maxRetryCount logic worked fine as well. But now, the addition of simpleText makes it work not at all. Could you please revert it?

Would it be possible to return the duration when using
.getVideo(videoID)

I am currently chaining calls to get the duration because the .getVideo doesnt grab the duration

scrapeYt.getVideo(videoId).then((videoMain: Video) => {
                            scrapeYt.search(videoMain.title).then((videoInfos: Video[]) => {
...

would be awesome if this is possible!!!!

Hello again, just want to let you know that after a few test runs, it seems as if the ads are filtered out now. Thank you so much for this fix!

I mentioned earlier that I get an "UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined at addSong"

addSong is basically my function when I take the video id and store it onto my MongoDB database. Like I mentioned before, I loop through another npm module about billboard music chart data, and then call addSong

addSong does something like this:

This is really a simple call to your module using the name of the artist and title of the songs as the keyword search query. However, the await makes the code behave synchronously, waiting for the videoId to come back as a resolved Promise. However, as shown previously, I get this:

So, I am able to populate my database with 216 video ids when I made 220 calls in reality. On average, 10 videos ids may be missing so that means 10 Promises weren't resolved and I'm 10 songs short at times. Is this an issue involving the way you may have structured your Promise code? Or are my function calls to excessive and can't handle the asynchronous behavior? (I plan on making these function calls every Sunday, not every day, so max 220 calls a week).

Thanks for the swift modifications and cooperation. I hope you can figure something out :)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For some applications it required to know if the video is private

Describe the solution you'd like
Add isPrivate property.

Describe alternatives you've considered

https://github.com/CodeDotJS/youtube-playlist/blob/459eb95c05d438ffc42c4716c07a7b4bb94c9cc2/index.js#L18

When using scrape-yt to scrape YouTube playlists I am getting the following the error:

Cannot read property 'playlistSidebarSecondaryInfoRenderer' of undefined.

This error occurred when trying to get the playlist with ID: RDCLAK5uy_mfut9V_o1n9nVG_m5yZ3ztCif29AHUffI .

This was done with the following code running v1.4.5 of scrape-yt:

await scrapeYt.getPlaylist("RDCLAK5uy_mfut9V_o1n9nVG_m5yZ3ztCif29AHUffI")

One other point to add is that I was trying to obtain 10 or so other playlists at the same time, so it might be a throttle kicking in?

Channel url undefined

This is not an issue. rather an announcement.

I will stop adding new features to this library and will only do bug fixes.

I was working for v2 of this library but I figured that it will be better to make a new library instead because the v2 doesn't scrape data from Youtube page anymore, instead it will send a request to (what I assume to be) Youtube internal API for Youtube Web App.

It's called Youtubei, it's still in early stage but should be stable. It also should be faster than scrape-yt. Go check it out 😁

Bug Description
The getVideo and getPlaylist function are returning an empty object.

To Reproduce
Add a video or playlist id to the getVideo or getPlaylist function.

Expected Behavior
Returns an empty object, no error message.

Additional Context
I'm not sure if it's also happening with getRelated or getUpNext. Since I don't use those functions, no testing happened. It works fine for the search function, though.

Describe the bug
The getVideo isnt working with a id with a "-"

To Reproduce
have this piece of code

var scrapeYt = require("scrape-yt");
scrapeYt.getVideo("DEXTLC-rPI4").then(videos => {
    console.log(videos);
    console.log(videos.title);
});

and run it. The id is valid but it doesn't work because it has a - in it.

Expected behavior
I expected that everything works normal.

Describe the bug
Not sure when, but after updating to 1.4.6. This happens with all playlist ID

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Use any playlist ID. I tested the one in the documentation "PLx65qkgCWNJIgVrndMrhsedBz1VDp0kfm"
And call getPlaylist(playlistId)

Expected behavior
You should get the following error:
Unexpected token } in JSON at position 10688

Here is a test code that I used

Got this issue

trying to use it on nodejs app

Module not found: Can't resolve 'worker_threads' in '\node_modules\scrape-yt\dist'

Doing a video search with the name on a video that is over 1 hour puts null in the duration of the video.

Code:

const scrapeYt = require("scrape-yt").scrapeYt;

scrapeYt.search("1 hour Trance Mix With Mister Anderson - Transmission 006 [HD]").then(videos => {
  console.log(videos[0]);
});

Console output:

I am looping through movies in from the Movie Database API and an error s occurring when scraping viewCount. I don't know if this affects the videoId

The query in the parameter is the title of the movie + " trailer", so basicially ${title_of_movie} trailer
These are the list of songs I am looping through:

Thank you so much for making this repo possible. This repo has everything I needed.

Describe the bug
Here is the url to the video that scrapeYt.getVideo(videoID) throws the error.

The error
TypeError: Cannot read property 'runs' of undefined at Object.parseGetVideo (node_modules\scrape-yt\dist\common\parser.js:364:31) at node_modules\scrape-yt\dist\index.js:196:64 at step (node_modules\scrape-yt\dist\index.js:44:23) at Object.next (node_modules\scrape-yt\dist\index.js:25:53) at fulfilled (node_modules\scrape-yt\dist\index.js:16:58) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)

To Reproduce
use scrapeYt.getVideo(videoID) where videoID is a video without a description like this one I found.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Additional context
I think it's because the code always expect a description on every video. I could be wrong.

const results = await scrapeYt.getPlaylist("PLaYtGORLdHDIOZVNovduRmZBuoTGVOGAS");

but using the playlist id from your example works fine.
const results = await scrapeYt.getPlaylist("PLx65qkgCWNJIgVrndMrhsedBz1VDp0kfm");

so I was thinking that this will happen if the playlist contains Deleted/Private Videos?

Describe the bug
Hey so I'm seeing when I call

scrapeYt.getPlaylist(playlistMatch[1]).then(playlist => {
    const playlistVideos: Video[] = playlist['videos'];

   console.log(playlistVideos);
});

Where playlistMatch[1] = PLqFSI8ggBE67YFjGyLykEqeh0c37uC8fi

My audio playing on discord has a gap when this is called

To Reproduce

• should be able to reproduce on any playlist over 30+ if not 30+ then try 100 or more
• lower numbered playlist dont have this issue as prevalent as when it is a bigger playlist

Expected behavior
No gap in audio when calling this method

Screenshots
N/A

Additional context

• this is with a discord bot
• seeing in all 3 of my environments (mac - local, widows - local, ubuntu - aws)
• im using typescript

sorry for opening so many issue man :/

i tried separating the call into a diff method that isnt connected to the player and calling the getPlaylist function while the something is playing and got the same issue.... I dont see the issue with getVideo() and im not seeing it with the search as well

Applying the filter can sometimes remove videos from the results, I'm unsure if this is a YouTube issue or not.

Take the following links as examples:

This first link will bring up the correct video/song that I want:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=official+audio+Stand+High+Patrol+Commando

But when you apply the video filter (which is correct as it is a video...), you will see it disappears:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=official+audio+Stand+High+Patrol+Commando&sp=EgIQAQ%253D%253D

I've looked at the code and can see you're filtering the results by the type param as well as passing it in the query. It would be useful if we could pass a type but not have it included in the query.

As a test I commented out 4 lines in the dist code and it works as intended for me now.
