Hangs forever - unclear where #131

Closed MathiasExorde closed 11 months ago

Does anyone knows where to add timeouts when fetching comments from a video? it's unclear when it happens, or where in the code.

I tried adding more timeouts, more breaks from possible infinite loops, but can't figure it out.

It definitely looks like rate limiting by youtube, even though I added lots of delays between my successive calls. Can anyone point to where some request could hang for >50min?

I will investigate more in the meantime.

Was a mistake on my end.
