Importing subscriptions broken (12/31/23)? #13

Closed RusselNash10121 closed 7 months ago

RusselNash10121 commented 7 months ago

Hello, I signed up yesterday on https://efy.piped.pages.dev/. Really loving the customization and improvements it offers for the piped UI/UX. Thank you for your work. I'm using Librewolf (121.0) if that matters. Unfortunately I am not able to import my subscriptions from either YT or NP. I select the file, it shows the number of subscriptions (122) but when I click import, nothing ever happens (with override selected and not selected). No warning, error out, or message of any kind. I've also tried it connected to / not connected my VPN. Same result either way. Ideas? (I haven't tried playlists because the instance I have mine on has been down for a day so I haven't been able to export them.)

Glad you love it 🔥 I'm assuming it works when you use the default Piped version, right? I just tried it now on the efy version and it seems to work. I went to feed > subscriptions > Import from JSON/CSV > chose a json file > import and the subscriptions and feed showed up. You can try a different browser or logging out of an account if you use one for piped, or using a private window to check if something is interfering with that. It should work on firefox based browsers afaik, but idk if librewolf has issues with it or not.

Also keep in mind that you mentioned YT / NP, so the way the file is exported might not be compatible with piped maybe, in which case you can subscribe to channels manually and export it as json from piped directly for more compatibility in the future, or modify your previous backup file to match the piped format with a text editor in case it doesn't, using a piped subscription backup file as inspiration for how it should look like. Someone mentioned this a few months ago and it worked in that case, maybe it does in yours too.

Also, this repo is for EFY the framework, not piped, but I replied cuz this info might help you haha. You can also ask EFY questions here or Piped questions here if you use matrix.

(This is all on Librewolf.) (Tested with VPN connected & unconnected.) I can't log in to test it on piped.video and the main instance I was using (kavin.rocks official) I also cannot log in to (that's where my playlists are). So I can't say. On efy.piped.videos.dev my feed is populated as if my subscriptions are already imported, but the subscriptions page is blank showing 0 subs, which seems contradictory.

Tested with Ungoogled Chromium (120.x) and Falkon (based on Chrome 87.X). I can not login to piped.video or efy.piped.videos.dev with either of these. Could it be because I'm logged in with Librewolf?

It mentions importing from Newpipe specifically in the import subs page. Why would it mention that if it doesn't work? I use Libretube as well but the only options it has to export subs is in NP or Freetube format. Neither of those it generates works either.

Also tried exporting subs from the actual backend instance piped.smnz.de but clicking on import does absolutely nothing. :/

Also, I don't have Matrix or Telegram. I do have Discord though.

I'll discontinue here and hop over to the piped github page. Thank you for your help.

Seems there are ongoing issues, including the log in issue I mentioned on other instances:
