gitdude1 commented 3 years ago

This error started occurring a few days ago. It occurs for all youtube videos. No changes were made to my system. I'm using the most recent version of youtube-comment-downloader (aug-2020) with Linux Mint 18.3, Python 2.7.11 python-requests 2.9.1 python-lxml 3.5.0 python-cssselect 0.9.1 I tried it from Linux Mint 19.3 live USB (released dec-2019) and get the same error.

I added the following code:

Debug

    print(response.text)
        return response.json()

and get: Downloading Youtube comments for video: WRm2oUw4owE Downloaded 0 comment(s) Error: No JSON object could be decoded

@gitdude1 Something changed and I'm posting on this open issue to let you know that the prior open issue before yours is a duplicate issue. So I'll mainly be responding to that one to keep the chatter down.
