I do see that the bug report lists youtube-dl but I've been using yt-dlp instead as its far more advanced and less buggy. Does't ytcc now use yt-dlp?

woefe commented 1 year ago

Ytcc uses yt-dlp over youtube-dl, if both are found on your system. The error is probably related to something else. It seems there is a problem in how ytcc or yt-dlp calculate unique identifiers for some videos. Somehow it calculates the same id for two different URLs. I cannot reproduce the issue though. To reproduce, I'd need a list of subscriptions that trigger the error. Did you add new subscriptions recently (especially something not from youtube) that cause the issue?

pghpete commented 1 year ago

hum, not that I know of. I did remove the very last sub I performed and re-ran it but it produced the same issue. I then removed the last sub before the error and that didn't help. I ended exporting my existing subscriptions, moving the DB out of the way, and resubscribing to all via my exported list.

I wasn't able to find out what specifically was the issue so I ended up using a heavy hand and moving the DB out of the way and I still ended up having the same error happen.

I have attached a text file of the subscriptions where this is happening.

ytcc-subscriptions.txt

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist with tracking down what might be the issue here.

chemicalstorm commented 1 year ago

I can reproduce the issue with an empty DB and adding only one subscription:

Note that the issue still occurs even when using the channel id (UChEzR-bdxoEpWdDLVC9wWew) instead of the @ version.

Issue does not occur with eg. this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSqUTKab5R1I4B5frDEjXzA

The only notable difference I can see with a quick glance is that the channel causing the bug has the "Live" tab while the second one has not.

I've dig a bit in the code and seems to be indeed linked to a difference in what is returned by yt-dlp for the 2 channels:

Channel that works as expected

The info structure retrieved in https://github.com/woefe/ytcc/blob/master/ytcc/updater.py#L82 contains an entries field that is a generator that returns object of _type set to url and whose url field is indeed the video.

Channel that causes the issue

The entries field of the info structure contains 2 objects of type playlist, one for the "Videos" tab and one for the "Live" tab. Obviously, the url field for these only points to the channel page's tab, not to any video. These objects then follow the same pattern as for the other channel, ie. the entries field is a generator that does return a list of objects with the url corresponding to actual video url.

There is an easy fix: update the subscription to use the playlist/link to the "videos" tab. Unfortunately, for some users that means having to update multiple subscriptions and there is currently no way of being notified that this even needs to be done.

I've tried to do a small workaround in #118 so it's possible to support channels that were already added to ytcc and that enabled the new features at some points, making them use "tabs".

Let me know what you think!
