Updating seems broken

[zoidby]

Since yesterday (2020-11-09) updating doesn’t add new videos despite multiple of my subscriptions published new videos since.

[hpsu]

Can confirm. No updates for 3 days. ytcc -l debug update shows no errors

[EmRowlands]

Can you post the output of ytcc bug-report?

Appears to be a youtube-dl upstream bug:

$ youtube-dl -J 'https://youtube.com/channel/UC9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg'
{"_type": "playlist", "entries": [], "id": "UU9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg", "uploader": null, "uploader_id": null, "uploader_url": null, "extractor": "youtube:playlist", "webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UU9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg", "webpage_url_basename": "playlist", "extractor_key": "YoutubePlaylist"}

And

$ youtube-dl -J 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UU9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg'
{"_type": "playlist", "entries": [], "id": "UU9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg", "uploader": null, "uploader_id": null, "uploader_url": null, "extractor": "youtube:playlist", "webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UU9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg", "webpage_url_basename": "playlist", "extractor_key": "YoutubePlaylist"}

I've noticed that too. It is a bug in youtube-dl's Playlist extractor for youtube.com. I have been debugging it yesterday and the extractor just doesn't return any playlist items any more. I think there was a new release today (Version 2020.11.01.1): https://yt-dl.org/download.html Haven't checked if that solves the issue, though. Will do it later today, if I find the time.

With the repository takedown, it's hard to follow bug-reports. But there is an issue reported in one of the forks that is probably related: https://github.com/l1ving/youtube-dl/issues/31

2020.11.01.1 was already release several days ago (I thought the .1 was new). I already have 2020.11.01.1 and so does @zoidby according to the bug-report info. I think we have to wait for a new upstream release.

[zoidby]

There is a new version: https://youtube-dl.org/

I already flagged the arch package as out-of-date.

I hope this fixes it.

[EmRowlands]

Confirmed to work on youtube-dl-2020.11.12 on Gentoo, and youtube-dl-2020.11.12-0 (locally built) on Artix.

[woefe]

Yes, works again with the latest release
