Unable to pull YouTube Title, Description, Duration, and Date about video_info HOT 14 CLOSED

That's odd. Are you using the scraper or the API?

Are you sure you're using 2.5.0? Try this and see if it helps:

gem uninstall video_info
bundle clean
bundle install

from video_info.

I uninstalled all versions of video_info, cleaned, and reinstalled. It doesn't seem to have changed anything. I am pretty sure I am using the API. My code is as follows:

VideoInfo.provider_api_keys = { youtube: '<MYKEY>' }
begin
  video = VideoInfo.new(url)
rescue
  errors.add(:url, "URL link is not valid")
  return
end
puts(video.available?)
if !video.available?
  begin
    self.title = video.title.to_s

    puts("Video ID: " + video.video_id.to_s)
    puts("Provider: " + video.provider.to_s)
    puts("Title: " + video.title.to_s) # Not working
    puts("Description: " + video.description.to_s) # Not working
    puts("Duration: " + video.duration.to_s) # Not working
    puts("Date: " + video.date.to_s) # Not working
    puts("Small thumbnail: " + video.thumbnail_small.to_s)
    puts("Medium thumbnail: " + video.thumbnail_medium.to_s)
    puts("Large thumbnail: " + video.thumbnail_large.to_s)
    puts(video.embed_url)
    puts(video.embed_code)
    puts(video.embed_url)

    self.image_url = video.thumbnail_small
  rescue
    errors.add(:url, "Error loading URL data")
    return
  end
else
    errors.add(:url, "Video link is not valid")
end

from video_info.

Can you try it with the scraper? To use the scraper, just delete the first line VideoInfo.provider_api_keys = { youtube: '<MYKEY>' }

I just tried it with the scraper and it worked fine:

2.2.2 :003 > a = VideoInfo.new('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwSoPjRhJpc')
 => #<VideoInfo:0x00000001a67308 @provider=#<VideoInfo::Providers::Youtube:0x00000001a66a70 @options={"User-Agent"=>"VideoInfo/2.5.0"}, @url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwSoPjRhJpc", @video_id="BwSoPjRhJpc">> 
2.2.2 :004 > a.duration
 => 1835 
2.2.2 :005 > a = VideoInfo.new('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxk-cs6n_K0')
 => #<VideoInfo:0x000000008d37e0 @provider=#<VideoInfo::Providers::Youtube:0x000000008d1850 @options={"User-Agent"=>"VideoInfo/2.5.0"}, @url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxk-cs6n_K0", @video_id="cxk-cs6n_K0">> 
2.2.2 :006 > a.duration
 => 11 
2.2.2 :007 > a.date
 => 2013-11-30 00:00:00 -0800 
2.2.2 :008 > a.title
 => "shoegaze.mov" 
2.2.2 :009 > a.description
 => "[vacuuming intensifies]" 

from video_info.

Deleting the first line gives me the following error:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

Is this related?

from video_info.

The SSL error only happens when I try to pull available, date, duration, title, and description (same as API).

from video_info.

Huh, this is very odd.

Could you try cloning this repository, running rspec, and seeing if the tests pass?

from video_info.

Assuming I did this right I got 366 examples, 96 failures, 1 pending. What information would be beneficial?

from video_info.

It looks like this error is consistent:
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

from video_info.

The tests all pass on my machine, Travis-CI, and other people's machines, so the issue seems to be unique to your PC. So I don't think I'll be able to reproduce it.

It looks like your issue has been discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4528101/ssl-connect-returned-1-errno-0-state-sslv3-read-server-certificate-b-certificat

Have you looked into any of the solutions posted there?

from video_info.

I tried a few simple solutions. I'll give it some more solid effort later today.

from video_info.

I've tried updating openssl on my computer, adding certs, removing and reinstalling gems, and so on, but nothing seems to work. In the end I think it could likely be because I am coding on a Windows machine.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8567973/why-does-accessing-a-ssl-site-with-mechanize-on-windows-fail-but-on-mac-work

But after making all these changes on my local machine I re-deployed and looks the like gem is working exactly as expected on my live site!

from video_info.

Cool. Sorry it won't work on your Windows machine. Since the issue appears to be outside the scope of video_info, I'm closing this issue.

With the same problem, and I'm using mac, could you help me?

from video_info.

@YXsagittarius StackOverflow would probably be a better place to ask.
