Description

It seems that the parsing of view counts on youtube videos does not work correctly when a playlist or channel is provided. For example, if a video has 102K views, then view_count will be 102. If "102K" is all that is provided by YouTube's API, then I think %(view_count)s returning 102K would be appropriate.

A single video works OK:

I could confirm this; all of my parsed views are /1000 smaller

apaloma commented 3 years ago

remitamine fixed it. Try the latest version.
