* Fix related vids, like_count, playlist sometimes missingJesus2023-09-111-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | Cause is that some pages have the onResponseReceivedEndpoints key at the top level with useless stuff in it, and the extract_items function was searching in that instead of the 'contents' key. Change to use if blocks instead of elif blocks in the extract_items function.

* Support more audio and video qualitiesJames Taylor2021-08-311-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds support for AV1-encoded videos, which includes any videos above 1080p. These weren't getting included because they did not have a quality entry in the format table at the top of watch_extraction.py. So get the quality from the quality labels of the format if it's not there. Because YouTube often includes BOTH AV1 and H.264 (AVC) for each quality, after these are included, there will be way too many quality options and the code needs to choose which one to use. The choice is somewhat hard: AV1 is encoded in fewer bytes than H.264 and is patent-free, however, it has less hardware support, so might be more difficult to play. For instance, on my system, AV1 does not work on 1080p, but H.264 does. Adds a setting about which to prefer, set to H.264 as the default. Also adds support for the lower quality mp4 audio quality, which now gets used at 144p to save network bandwidth. For similar reasons, this was not getting included because it did not have an audio_bitrate entry in the table. Prefer bitrate instead for the quality. Signed-off-by: Jesús <heckyel@hyperbola.info>

* Fix (dis)like, music list extraction due to YouTube changes (again)James Taylor2021-08-091-5/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | YouTube reverted the changes they made that prompted f9f5d5ba. In case they change their minds again, this adds support for both formats. The liberal_update and conservative_update functions needed to be modified to handle the cases of empty lists, so that a successfully extracted 'music_list': [{'Author':...},...] will not be overwritten by 'music_list': [] in the calls to liberal_dict_update.

* Switch to new comments api now that old one is being disabledJames Taylor2021-08-091-7/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | watch_comment api periodically gives the error "Top level comments mweb servlet is turned down." The continuation items for the new api are in a different arrangement in the json, so changes were necessary to the extract_items function. Signed-off-by: Jesús <heckyel@hyperbola.info>
* Fix missing likes, dislikes, & music list due to Youtube changesJames Taylor2021-07-281-7/+23
| | | | | | | | | Also moves some microformat extraction from _extract_watch_info_mobile to extract_watch_info where it belongs. _extract_watch_info_mobile is really only for stuff visible on the page, and thus specialized for either mobile or desktop. Signed-off-by: Jesús <heckyel@hyperbola.info>

* yt_data_extract: normalize thumbnail and author urlsJames Taylor2020-10-191-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | for instance, urls that start with // become https:// adjustment required in comments.py because the url was left as a relative url in yt_data_extract by mistake and was using URL_ORIGIN prefix as fix. see #31
* yt_data_extract: Fix time_published picking up 'Streaming' stringJames Taylor2020-08-121-1/+5
| | | | | This was causing an exception in subscriptions when it tried to estimate the unix timestamp for the upload time
* extract_items: Handle case where continuation has multipleJames Taylor2020-08-111-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | [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.

* Extraction: Correctly extract view_count for vids with 0 views.James Taylor2019-12-301-1/+9
| | | | Also change superfluous use of multi_get to item.get nearby
* extract_items: allow extracting items that are normally dug into for moreJames Taylor2019-12-261-5/+5
| | | | | 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
* yt_data_extract: Split up extract_items so renderer extraction works ↵James Taylor2019-12-261-47/+48
| | | | | | independently extract_items_from_renderer will extract given just a renderer rather than a response
* yt_data_extract.common: Simplify usage of get functions and remove dead codeJames Taylor2019-12-261-18/+11
| | | | | | | 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.
* yt_data_extract: Simplify extract_items so it needs only 1 while loopJames Taylor2019-12-261-32/+31

* extract_item_info: Don't extract author, author_id, etc. for channel itemsJames Taylor2019-12-241-7/+8

| | | | | | | | more robust 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

* Fix extract_approx_int. Fixes incorrect subscriber count on channels.James Taylor2019-12-211-2/+2
| | | | It wasn't working because decimals such as 15.1M weren't considered, so it was extracting "1M"
