playlistSidebarSecondaryInfoRenderer undefined when to getting playlist #22

Closed joshgare closed 3 years ago

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?

Thank you for reporting this.

This happens when you are trying to get playlist without channel information. Fixing it very soon.

Please update to v1.4.6 and try again! If the issue still persists, feel free to reopen this issue 😄

Unreal turnaround - you beat me with my fork and incoming PR 👏🏼. Will report back!

EDIT: Everything is working as expected- thanks again!
