Broken Dislike Counter #255

Open Blooym opened 2 years ago

Blooym commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug When downloading a video from YouTube, the dislike count metadata will show as NaN.

To Reproduce

  1. Download any video's metadata
  2. Go to the information page

Expected behavior Either a dislike count is shown or something like N/A

Screenshots image

Additional info (please complete the following information):

Additional context Because of YouTube removing the ability for public users to view dislike counts, the application is unable to get the relevant metadata for dislike_count.

@jely2002 You might be interested in adding support for Return YouTube Dislike, a project which has collected dislike metadata from around 300 million videos before the public API shut down, so they are now able to give rather accurate estimations of current dislikes using trained data models. They provide a browser extension and their own API anyone can use. They are soon to incorporate an even greater bunch of data from another 4.5 billion videos, collected by the Archive Team, making the estimations even more accurate :)

Return YouTube Dislike seems like a great project. I however don't think it will be necessary to implement this. I will fix this issue by just hiding the like and dislike, when they don't have a value.
