Hello,

Getting the following error when trying to get transcription for this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JoI2u646u84&ab_channel=DenisSemenikhin This is a video in Russian. I am using Chrome on Windows.

Your hekp would be much appreciated :), your tool is incredible ! Thanks for this.

:( Unknown error: Could not retrieve a transcript for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoI2u646u84!

Hi @paulius777, could you maybe share what you are executing? For me both the python code YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript("JoI2u646u84", languages=['ru']), as well as the CLI command youtube_transcript_api JoI2u646u84 --languages ru yield the desired result.

Hi @jdepoix,

I managed to get it usig CLI command from your answer. By the way is there a way to get it using graphical interface https://youtubetranscript.com/ ?

@paulius777 I have no affiliation with that website, so I can't help you there, unfortunately.

I will close this now, as the issue is resolved.
