[something]Continuation renderers, all of which are junk
except one. Check the items in each one until the one which
contains the items being sought is found.
The usage in extract_comments_info needed to be changed to
specify the items being sought. It was unspecified before which
is strictly incorrect since extract_items by default looks for
video/playlist/channel thumbnail items. It was relying on this
special case for continuations. But now that wouldn't work
anymore.
Use extract_str function since it's not always 'simpleText'
Make sure we don't output an empty error message if we don't
know what it is.
channel.py: Don't check if error message is empty, check if it's
None
Since there are no formats, it was retrying with the
non-embedded playerResponse, which resulted in the
hls_manifest_urls from the embedded player_response being
overwritten with None. So use conservative_update instead
Change so it extracts other stuff from regular playerResponse
Extract formats from embedded player response, but fallback to
regular one if that doesn't work.
Sometimes there is no 'player' at top_level and the urls are in
the regular playerResponse
The base.js url format changed, so the identifier at the end
was no longer unique. So it was using the wrong cached decryption
function
Changes the identifier to just be the whole url so
this won't happen again.
'ip_address' was not set when no formats are available
'allowed_countries' was set to None rather than [] in extract_desktop_info which it turns out is the function that gets used in these cases
403 errors on the video urls happen typically when a video has copyrighted content or was livestreamed originally. They appear to not happen (or at least happen less frequently) if the Tor exit node used ipv6, however.
The function body regex was capturing some unrelated new code before the actual function body. Example:
`function(a){a=a.split("");var b=[function(c,d){d=(d%c.length+c.length)%c.length;c.splice(-d).reverse().forEach(function(e){return c.unshift(e)}`
If you look closely, the closing bracket doesn't match the opening one. I have added `{` to the `[^\}]+` part to make sure it only captures matching brackets. Additionally, I've added `return a\.join\(""\)` to the end for good measure.
By checking first if it's in item_types rather than checking if it can be dug into first.
For example: this allows extracting things like sectionListRenderer
Change usage of multi_deep_get to multi_get where possible
Remove checking of type from calls to get functions (because it's very unlikely Youtube suddenly changes the type without changing the name of the variable or anything, and it takes up unnecessary space)
Remove all default=None arguments from get functions, since those are superflous.
Remove list_types constant since it's no longer in use.
For example, "354 subscribers" wasn't being extracted correctly be extract_approx_int.
Make extract_approx_int and extract_int only extract integers that are words.
So e.g. 342 will not be extracted from internetuser342
