Live stream getting streaming data not found.

[devnullpointer]

Using the library to parse the following youtube live stream: https://www.youtube.com/embed/dC3-ISvqnJI?rel=0&autoplay=1 and I'm getting a BadPageException: Streaming data not found. I've also tried with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3-ISvqnJI

try {
    final String url = params[0];
    final YoutubeDownloader youtube = new YoutubeDownloader();
    final YoutubeVideo video = youtube.getVideo(url);

    final Format formatByItag = video.findFormatByItag(137);
    return formatByItag.url();
}
catch (final YoutubeException yex)
{
    Log.e(TAG, "Unable to parse Youtube content.", yex);
    return null;
}

Do you have any specific error message?

@devnullpointer I just tested your videoId dC3-ISvqnJI and it works fine. The error looks strage, because it appears here https://github.com/sealedtx/java-youtube-downloader/blob/45c48d53b7325f920adacbcfcd8fc0d51773f4c2/src/main/java/com/github/kiulian/downloader/parser/DefaultParser.java#L189 but same "streaming data" should be requested earlier here https://github.com/sealedtx/java-youtube-downloader/blob/45c48d53b7325f920adacbcfcd8fc0d51773f4c2/src/main/java/com/github/kiulian/downloader/parser/DefaultParser.java#L116 Could you please attach html webpage response from this code snippet: String html = new DefaultExtractor().loadUrl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3-ISvqnJI")

And BTW, @poornerd, do we actually need to parse formats if video is live? I think it is useless, because those formats have urls to only ~5 seconds of video stream. Live HLS url should be enough for such videos.

@sealedtx Here you go...

[poornerd]

@sealedtx you are right - we probably do not need to parse the others if it is a live stream.

[sealedtx]

@devnullpointer I replaced html content with your file and it can be parsed successfully. Did you get this file from same device/network connection as you tried youtube.getVideo(...) ? If everything is same, please, verify that you use latest version and test it your video again.

[devnullpointer]

@sealedtx yes I did. I'm running 2.5.1 and this is the method I'm calling. If I trace the code getVideo throws the exception.

try {
                final String url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3-ISvqnJI";

                final YoutubeDownloader youtube = new YoutubeDownloader();
                final YoutubeVideo video = youtube.getVideo(url);

                final Format formatByItag = video.findFormatByItag(137);
                return formatByItag.url();
            }
            catch (final YoutubeException yex)
            {
                Log.e(TAG, "Unable to parse Youtube content.", yex);
                return null;
            }

@devnullpointer You should pass videoId instead of full url.

String videoId = dC3-ISvqnJI
YoutubeVideo video = youtube.getVideo(videoId);

Look at Usage section of README

[devnullpointer]

Well that seemed to have worked, sorry I missed that in the README. Problem now is that playing the url in the formats list is returning a 403 Forbidden error. I guess I need to figure out what headers I need to pass unless you have an idea which ones are required?

[sealedtx]

@devnullpointer are you still talking about live video? For live video you may use live url, not from formats:

YoutubeVideo video = downloader.getVideo(videoId);
System.out.println("Live Stream HLS URL: " + video.details().liveUrl());`

[devnullpointer]

Perfect. Mucho appreciated!
