problem with live videos

Closed this issue · 4 comments

your scraper has problem with live videos. Do check once.

@katastreet Sorry for the late reply. What is the issue? I can't seem to reproduce the issue because there aren't any trending videos that are live at the moment.

video_page_response = requests.get(Scraper.URL.format(country_code) + video_obj["video_url"])
				video_obj["upload_date"] = BeautifulSoup(video_page_response.text, "html.parser").select("strong.watch-time-text")[0].string

this line(line 60) throws an exception when a video that is trending is live and fetching is done at that time( i observed this during jimmy kimmel live show)

@katastreet I still couldn't reproduce this issue despite having a live video that was trending. I've tried to handle the issue that you've reported with my latest commit. Pull from master and let me know if this fixes things for you. 🛠️

@jessecordeiro thanks man looks good now
