It would be nice to fetch chapters when it's available in the video.

Hi,

First of all: Nice project, thanks for your work.
Working good so far but I have one question:

What is your versioning scheme?
If you don't have one, I would strongly suggest using Semantic Versioning

Currently getting playlist metadata of a playlist id is capped at 100 videos even if the playlist has more than 100 videos in it. This is because ytInitialData only includes the first 100 videos in the playlist.

This issue is to track/discuss if or how this library should handle this case.

related issue: #44

When searching for videos and looking at one's description attribute, we can see the line feeds are not kept. They are instead replaced with spaces. Is it the expected behavior, and if so, how to get the original description with the line feeds?

Without changing my working code I am now getting an error, after looking into it I tried to log the callback I was receiving from the YTS library and the videos were empty. Just wondering if this is an issue on the library end of things? Thanks

on package. json your main file is yt-search. js

so when i run the command it crashed bec yt-search. js is missing so i hope youll fixed this asap

When performing a search, occasionally a video appears at the top of the results that’s invalid. Its videoId field isn’t a valid video ID, the ago property lists views, and the views, duration, and seconds properties are zeroed.

Here I searched for "test" a few times and this video was prepended to the results. (Notice how there are 21 elements in the array instead of 20.)

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to reliably reproduce the error, it only happens occasionally.

My current work-around is to filter the results for the weird ID (which seems to be invariant).

ytSearch({
    query: searchQuery,
    pageStart: searchPage,
    pageEnd: searchPage + 1
}, function(err, results) {
    results = results.filter(r => r.videoId !== 'L&ai')
    // Rest of code
})

I tried several different playlist IDs but I always get 400 Bad Request, and the message says "Cannot read property 'split' of undefined".
I suspect a dependency changed which caused a regression?

hi a new issue. Code:

s.getTrack(some spotify track id)
.then(async function (data) {
let trackname = ${data.artists[0].name} - ${data.name}
let result = await yts(trackname)
console.log(result)
}, function (err) {
console.error(err);
});

I've noticed that the resulting video object from yt-search({ videoId: id}) removes any part of the title at and after a #-symbol.

When running this code

const yts = require('yt-search');

main();

async function main() {
	const videoIdSearch = await yts({ videoId: process.argv[2] });
	const res = await yts(process.argv[2]);

	console.log(videoIdSearch.videoId === res.videos[0].videoId);
	console.log(videoIdSearch.title);
	console.log(res.videos[0].title);
}

We get the result:

user@system $ node test z95fi3uazYA

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Episode 60 - Part 3 -
Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Episode 60 - Part 3 - #DBZA60 | Team Four Star (TFS)

I just want a query return only one video detail (not use video[0]). Is it posible and how to do it?

Having pageEnd: 1 and pageEnd: 10 return the same amount of videos.

await ytSearch({
      query: `superman`,
      pageStart: 1,
      pageEnd: 10
})

both return 19 videos for me.

P. S. thanks for this lib!

Hello, I am using a music artist name + song + "official music video" as the search query to yts. I understand that I have to access the video property of the results object, and index to the first element

Some songs are able to scrape the videoId and thumbnail, while some songs cannot. I don't think I am able to replicate which songs are causing this error since I am looping through 220 songs.

I am storing this data onto a database, so videoId and coverImage are fields that are populated when I scrape data from your API

This is my code (artist and title work fine):

Thank you for any clarification

When I run this code, I get an error saying "TypeError: callback is not a function" on "callback(err);". I'm not sure if it is a problem with my code or yt-search, but I got my code straight from a YouTube video and there weren't any people complaining.

code.txt

i think the bot is sorting by views because I put in a specific title and it didn't show up (small # of views). can I sort by relevance? or does it just use youtube's search with no filters?

err :https://pastebin.com/vPZqFhQV
How to fix

I am not sure whether this was a built in limitation, but I can only see 17-20 videos from one search, even when I print the whole list. Is this a mistake, or was this intentional?

I am using the single video search mode using a video ID.

Here is a snippet of my code.

var videoInfo = await yts({ videoId: v })
vidTitle = videoInfo.title
console.log(videoInfo)
songname.innerText = vidTitle;

When I do that, it returns the following error:

Refused to set unsafe header {My Directory Path} "accept-encoding"

I am using this in an Electron Renderer process if this helps.

Hi, I am experiencing an issue on vercel where it says in cannot find module dasu, I normally works locally. So it does not make sense. I am thinking its something to do the how that module is packaged.

Do you have any ideas?

Make it not so.

This seems to be something to do with Thumbnails

Code:

Example > id = "PL67B0C9D86F829544"

const list = await yts( { listId: id } )

Error:

at node_modules\yt-search\dist\yt-search.js:850:69

When using yt-search#search, it throws this string as an error "http status 302" (NOT as an error object)

can you add video duration to playlist videos?

    {
      title: '',
      videoId: '',
      listId: '',
      thumbnail: '',
      author: [Object]
    },

that will be great if u add a duration object.

Seems like accounts/channels no longer show up as search results.

Previously some channels would show up in their own tile on the search results page. E.g. when searching for "pewdiepie" the pewdiepie channel would show up along with other video results.

Not sure how to handle this one. Either ignore it as YouTube evolves (as they are no longer showing up as a youtube search result) or alternatively add a non-standard way to gather account/channel data fro the video results that show up.

Leaning towards sticking with whatever youtube provides as standard and possibly leaving the account/channel results to be empty indefinitely as long as the initial youtube search result doesn't include them.

By looping through the videos you can still get a list of which channels are making the videos.

Denial of service

Hello once again xD. You recently updated the library to not have live streams in the video results but when I attempted to get the new option 'live' it doesn't appear to be there on version 2.2.4.

Edit: Upon further testing and research it appears that it's just not auto filling.

Hello,

i have a issue when i use your module with discord.js.
Each time i try to use your function like that :
YoutubeStream.validateURL(args[1])
(args[1] = "astronaute" for example.)
It send me undefined in videos, list and playlist.

Could you help me ?
Thanks !

Abrichar

A special kind of playlist called a "mix" (play list id's starting with RD instead of PL) is currently unsupported for various reasons.

A mix playlist is unviewable on the /playlist page. Mixes are also infinite and populated indefinitely by YouTube AI and are personal to whoever opens the playlist.

However, saved mixes usually have the first ~25 videos constant, and any other videos populated thereafter is random based on YouTube AI on the user listening to the mix.

This issue is to track/discuss how this library should handle this case.

Related issue: #43

hello dev
60-70% time there is null result showing for us

Support for multiple page results.

I'm not sure I want to support this, but here is an issue to keep track/discussion about it.

Is there proxy support?

TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

This used to work but all of a sudden it stops working.

The library has a bug, when I get a video by id and it has 0 minutes, it returns the wrong seconds. For example: the video is 12 hours, 0 minutes, 1 second (12:00:01), it will return 720 seconds.

I've fixed this error yesterday using npm install yt-search@latest but today it reappeared
and this time I cannot fix it using npm i this is my code :

const yts = require( 'yt-search' );
async function VideoUrl(nome){
    if(isUrl(nome)){
      const songInfo = await ytdl.getInfo(nome);
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          yts(songInfo.videoDetails.title, ( err, r ) => {
            if (err){
                  reject(err);
            }
              const videos = r.videos
              resolve({
                title:videos[0].title,                                  
                url:videos[0].url,
                duration:videos[0].timestamp,
                image:videos[0].image                    
                })
              })
            })
    }else{
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            yts(nome, ( err, r ) => {
              if (err){
                    reject(err);
                  }
                const videos = r.videos
                resolve({
                    title:videos[0].title,
                    url:videos[0].url,
                    duration:videos[0].timestamp,
                    image:videos[0].image
                })
                
            })
        });
}};
      const song =await VideoUrl(nome).catch(console.log)

I've also tryied to run my discord bot on localHost. Any Help?

Searching for "Josh A & Jake Hill - Rest in Pieces (Lyrics)" or just the url itself "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JzeIf1zT14" Will not find this video. Usually searching for a url puts it in the top 1-3 spots but this url doesn't work. I am not sure how to detail this or why this happens.

These URLs as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G6pGZJiCi8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P5P4_ISofI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X3qw3ytgTg // Provides nothing.

I am using the global version for them and my locally installed version and both are sending the same information.
Seems to be urls with the ID starting with '_'(underscore).

Recently realised the description for every video appears to be empty now... Even the runkit you provided returns an empty description as well
Would be really thankful if this could be fixed

How to remove this warning videoDetails.thumbnail.thumbnails will be removed in a near future release, use videoDetails.thumbnails ??????
Each time I use yt-search , this warning is coming on console.

yts(searchterm, function ( err, r ) {
let video = r.videos;
console.log(video.url);
let Fvideo = video[0];
let URL = Fvideo.url;
return URL;
});
I want to be able to see the video's url. How would I go about doing that since video.url is undefined? All help greatly appreciated.

Any idea how to fix that issue? I'm using typescript but the issue is style present with vanilla javascript.

I'm getting a "Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined" and none of the directories lead back to my app file which makes me think YouTube have released another update sadly

This issue is to track recent inconsistencies for playlist metadata ytInitialData results.

It seems that some youtube servers are returning inconsistent playlist metadata in the ytInitialData.

I'm not sure why this is.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7k0JFoxwvTbKL8kjGI_CaV31QxCGf1vJ sometimes returns a playlist of only 5 videos instead of the 9 that it currently has.

The videos not present in the inconsistent ytInitialData response are:

The Max Fleischer Cartoon (From "Superman)
[Deleted Video]
[Private Video]
Hans Zimmer - Man of Steel Theme

video id's of these are:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQtKjU_pOuw&list=PL7k0JFoxwvTbKL8kjGI_CaV31QxCGf1vJ&index=1

I search "王菲"，console show TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined.
like "王菲", "菲王", "王非", "非王" still show TypeError.
but search "王" or "菲" is ok.

I often say that one day I can search for everything I want, and the next day I can find absolutely nothing because I have error: video unavailable. Unfortunately, I have no ideas what to do.

version: 2.1.3

I've tried this package and other ones but there all returning undefined/no results.
Did youtube update there api or is this part of that youtube download thingy thats going arround on the news.

Hi,

Since this morning searching items does not work anymore. Resultset is always empty.

`const yts = require( 'yt-search' )

yts( 'superman theme', function ( err, r ) {
if ( err ) throw err

const videos = r.videos
videos.forEach( function ( v ) {
const views = String( v.views ).padStart( 10, ' ' )
console.log( ${ views } | ${ v.title } (${ v.timestamp }) | ${ v.author.name } )
} )
} )`

--> no output

I have the same error that the issue #27, but this happens when I try to search this list Id: RDGMEM_v2KDBP3d4f8uT-ilrs8fQ&

Code:

let result = await yts({ listId: "RDGMEM_v2KDBP3d4f8uT-ilrs8fQ&" });

I am using similar code to the easy to use section (https://github.com/talmobi/yt-search#easy-to-use)
However each time it returns the results, they come back as undefined..
I made sure I am using the latest version of yt-search, using 'npm install yt-search@latest'
Is there any way to solve this?

It will be cool to pass { limit: 1 } while searching to get only the first video without extra network overload.

Not sure if its possible.
