Could not parse player context on a video. about youtubeexplode HOT 13 CLOSED

thank you. Either way, this is better than the original. I appreciate all your work on this!!!

from youtubeexplode.

Can anyone else test?

from youtubeexplode.

Can I help at all? What do you need to test?

from youtubeexplode.

You can:

• Clone the repo
• Set a breakpoint here
• Use DemoConsole on your video
• Post the value of response here. It's ran in a loop so there will be up to 10 values, post the distinct ones.

from youtubeexplode.

It did loop like you said. The only distinct value was this.

17403

Let me know what I need or should do next. Here to help.

from youtubeexplode.

The value of response, not sts :p

Below are the responses from each try. Let me know what else you need.

Interesting, looks like Youtube doesn't serve the embedded player even after retries...

Ok try this now:

• Put a breakpoint here
• Go to https://www.youtube.com/embed/j1Ele6QzvmM
• Find the player version, it should be inside a tag that looks like this
  <script src="/yts/jsbin/player-vfl2iVoNh/en_US/base.js" name="player/base" ></script>.
  Make sure the src ends with base.js. The version in this case is vfl2iVoNh/en_US, yours will be different probably.
• The version variable will be blank, you will need to set it to whatever version you extracted manually in the previous step.
• Exit break state by pressing continue and see what happens.

I want to know if the video is actually parseable past this point, because for me it throws an exception later that the video is not available in my country.

Ok scratch that. Just pull master branch and check if it works on your video. I changed the parsing algorithm for player context.

from youtubeexplode.

okay, I will let you know.

from youtubeexplode.

This is the new error.

YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoRequiresPurchaseException: 'The video is a paid Youtube Red video and cannot be processed'

This is much better than not finding the player context and is usable by us. Is there anyway to get the preview video at least?

There is a preview video that plays instead of the real video. Can you obtain the preview if it is a Youtube Red video?

from youtubeexplode.

Okay.
I created a different issue related to that - #54 and I'm going to close this one since it branched off.
For now it's impossible to get the preview video and I'm not sure how difficult it is. Regardless, I will push the new nuget tomorrow, with today's changes.
