IndexError: list index out of range @ pafy/playlist.py", line 145

Hi!,

I'm getting this (Version 0.5.2)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/joni/temp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tizyoutubeproxy.py", line 284, in enqueue_audio_mix
    playlist = yt_video.mix
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pafy/backend_shared.py", line 332, in mix
    self._mix_pl = get_playlist2("RD" + self.videoid)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pafy/playlist.py", line 228, in get_playlist2
    return Playlist(playlist_url, basic, gdata, size, callback)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pafy/playlist.py", line 145, in __init__
    pl = allinfo['items'][0]
IndexError: list index out of range

With this code (arg = hdGwTxPvbU4)

            yt_video = pafy.new(arg)
            playlist = yt_video.mix

This probably means there is no such mix (although pafy should probably handle it better). What video was this for?

[juanrubio]

I believe this was for this video:

[Youtube] [Connected] : 'hdGwTxPvbU4'.

I've tried again now and It appears to work, but it looks like an intermittent condition.

[juanrubio]

By the way, any chances of releasing a new version of pafy with #162's fix?

I'm integrating pafy within tizonia and I would love to have that fix in pypi (i.e. I can't release the new version of tizonia until pafy is updated there).

[ids1024]

I just released 0.5.3.

[juanrubio]

Thanks!, unfortunately, I'm getting this error while upgrading to 0.5.3

It's odd for that not to be defined.

I'm not sure exactly how Boost.Python works. Is it using a standard cpython interpreter? What version of Python?

[kyrias]

Hmm, trying to build a package in a chroot I'm getting the same issue. Setting PYTHONIOENCODING manually works though. Weird.

[ids1024]

Hm, I guess Python must set .encoding to None when the system's locale is not set. It should be possible to work around it; should it default to unicode? I guess ascii is probably a more compatible option...

I really wish UTF-8 could just be assumed. Things would be so much easier.

[kyrias]

In this case I had explicitly set the locale. I think it's just py2 being weird about encodings though.

[ids1024]

It seems it is a problem (#165). I've pushed a fix and made a bugfix release.

@juanrubio Does it work for you now?

[juanrubio]

Thanks Ian. I does work great now.
