YouTube abandoned the subscription grid view. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Subscription List Private #62

Closed pashok28 closed 10 years ago

pashok28 commented 10 years ago

"The account that you entered has their subscription list private." If worked just fine till now, and I don't changed anything in YT options.

In account_privacy page it seems there isn't subscription list privacy settings any more.

I'm having this problem also. Really hope YT haven't shut this down.

The site was working for me until a few hours ago at most. I still have the option to hide my subscriptions where the site notes, but it's checked off. I even just tried toggling it on and off, saving in between, in an attempt to reset it, but it didn't change anything. It might have to do with the fact YouTube tried asking me to change my name to Google+ again, and I clicked the wrong things, breaking my account?

Edit: https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/USERID/subscriptions?v=2 still returns a subscriptions list, although I probably should check how exactly the site looks up subscriptions. Exhausted at the moment. Might just be working since I'm logged in.

I just now tried it for the first time today. All last night it was working perfectly. Now it's telling me my subscriptions are private. My subscriptions are not private. They've never been private. I went to my account and checked, and the "Keep all my subscriptions private" checkbox is not checked. I even went so far as to check it, save the change, then uncheck it and save again. I can even verify by going to my public channel, on the "About" tab. My subscriptions are publicly displayed. Yet Sanegrid is insisting they're private. Something is borked.

Hot damn, I'm having the same issue! Fixing asap.

daviddeutsch commented 10 years ago

Changes will be live in about 10 minutes, as per usual.

eadslab commented 10 years ago

Thank you, sir! Took a little longer than 10 minutes for it to decide it was willing to cooperate, but it lives again. And I've got to say that being suddenly forced to resort to YT's "feed" for this brief interruption was a reality jolt. I haven't looked at it at all for weeks, and Inow realize that I've become totally dependent on Sanegrid.

daviddeutsch commented 10 years ago

Yeah, funny story - it helps to actually merge it into the branch that is put on the github.io domain... otherwise... that won't work. Haven't had my tea yet.

As for becoming totally dependent on Sanegrid: Yes... Yesss

eadslab commented 10 years ago

Hahahaaa! Indeed.

MegaScience commented 10 years ago

I'm curious what the problem was. Did they just slightly change a location you reference, so you had to change that?

daviddeutsch commented 10 years ago

No, unfortunately it was actually the related issue #63. My "fix" only fixed my own interface misbehaving, the real issue was that we weren't getting any data back from the YT API.

I think the main issue really is weird quota restrictions. For now, the thing I have planned is to make the UI inform users better when things are going wrong.

eadslab commented 10 years ago

This issue has suddenly reared its ugly head again. I loaded the page, and I got the same error message as yesterday, telling me that my subscriptions list is private. It gives me a flash of the grid, presumably what was stored from earlier, and in less than a second goes to the error page. Username, FWIW, is anmoose.

daviddeutsch commented 10 years ago

Yup, check #63 for details on this.
