Can't play YouTube playlists about yewtube HOT 17 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I will have a look under Ubuntu 14.04 soon and get back to you.

What is the output you get for python --version ?

from yewtube.

Here it is:

python --version
Python 2.7.6

from yewtube.

I just tried it in Ubuntu 13.10 (under VirtualBox) and the same error occurs, so it's not an Ubuntu 14.04 specific issue...

from yewtube.

That's odd. I can't reproduce the error. I see you have said that it's not 14.04 specific but I had already started testing it with that since you first mentioned it. I downloaded the daily build of Trusty-desktop, booted it from usb, sudo apt-get install mplayer, sudo apt-get install python-pip, sudo pip install mps-youtube, mpsyt,

Then within mpsyt:

pls volbeat
1
1

it plays the item without any error.

I also can't reproduce the error with my main setup (xubuntu 13.10)

Does it work for you using playlist searches other than "volbeat" ?

Are you installing using pip? What is the pafy version reported when you enter mpsyt --version ? It should be 0.3.39.

from yewtube.

It works for me flawlessly on Ubuntu 13.10 and 12.04. Perhaps @hotice has some sort of custom system config?

from yewtube.

Yes, it was installed using PIP and I'm using the latest version:

mpsyt --version
mpsyt version: 0.01.37
pafy version: 0.3.39
Python version: 2.7.6 (default, Feb 26 2014, 13:22:43)
[GCC 4.8.2]

Since it also occurs for me in VirtualBox in Ubuntu 13.10... it means that somehow it can be reproduced. I tried completely purging mps-youtube and pafy but the error still occurs.

from yewtube.

Also, I tried other playlists (other searches) but I get the same error...

from yewtube.

Well I am pretty confused then! Maybe CPU architecture related? All my tests were on i386 builds. I could try the amd64 build of 14.04...

from yewtube.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit but my VirtualBox test was in a 32bit machine.

Also, I've search for this error and simply running this in python will display the same error message (maybe this helps):

int('')

from yewtube.

Yes, it's (rightly) failing to convert a string that doesn't look like an int (because of the decimal point) into an int. I have dozens of calls to int() in the code for pafy and mpsyt. Without being able to reproduce the error it's very difficult to see where it's getting this value from. I have made changes with less error-catching so when it fails it will hopefully print a traceback with the line numbers. If you wouldn't mind testing it you can download it from: https://raw.github.com/np1/mps-youtube/issue35/mpsyt

then chmod +x mpsyt

./mpsyt

and repeat the test again.

I will include debugging options in a future version of mpsyt to make it easier to determine where faults are coming from.

Here's the output:

from yewtube.

Great! That's a big help! The viewcounts I was getting from YouTube had comma separators for views over 999. I removed the commas in pafy so that I could interpret the number as an integer (replace(",", ""). For some reason (maybe locale related) your data has . separators for the thousands. I will get working on a fix for this.

from yewtube.

Great!

from yewtube.

I have changed the replace() function in pafy to a regular expression that extracts just the digits (https://github.com/np1/pafy/commit/9ff12b36e2f785af2d9504184cc13b17690a54b1). According to Wikipedia the Swiss and Italians use 1˙234˙567,89 style numbers, other countries use dots, spaces or commas as the thousands separator. I don't know how YouTube determines which to serve, probably geocoding the IP address. Anyway, as long as they don't start serving Roman numerals we should be ok!

The change is available on the develop branch of pafy and will be in the next release.

from yewtube.

Thanks for the fix! I'll be waiting for the new release.

from yewtube.

I have released new versions of mps-youtube and pafy (0.01.38 and 0.3.41).

Doing a pip upgrade of mps-youtube should update them both.

from yewtube.

It works now, thank you!
