Issue

Videos don't play, this error shows up. Sometimes it works, then goes back to not working. _No streams available [1/71>

Exception in thread Thread-2 (_preload): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.11/threading.py", line 1038, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.11/threading.py", line 975, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/home/devuan/.local/pipx/venvs/yewtube/lib/python3.11/site-packages/mps_youtube/streams.py", line 196, in _preload get_size(ytid, stream['url'], preloading=True)

at least audio:

set show_video False
misterfish commented 3 months ago

yewtube has been broken for about 2 weeks, due, I suspect, to a change made by Youtube in how the streams may be accessed. If you do a fresh install of yewtube then you may at least be able to get audio-only default streams.

youtube-dl and ytfzf still work. But ytfzf uses a different URL, which is not optimized for streaming, meaning it often gets stuck buffering, and seeking is a pain.

It seems like Yewtube is somehow dead or rarely updated, so i don't think this is gonna be solved in a short time.

Does anyone know an alternative program?

After a quick look at the source code, I think the issue is not in yewtube itself, but in the youtube-search-python dependency, which is sadly unmaintained.

Alright, so we are basically doomed...

I haven't run into this issue myself, but I did notice a comment about youtube-search-python from a contributor which might be helpful:

youtube-search-python has been archived for months now but its still working. We'll port to another backend .i.e. pytube, invidious api when things will break. For now enjoy!

Maybe it is time to switch to a new new lib..

fgaz commented 2 months ago

Seems like it's working again (for me at least). Still, without a maintained search library, it's only a matter of time until it stops working once and for all.
