Error While getting Youtube Data:com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException

[kawulogustidev]

Hello, I receive an error using the latest code. I think, Youtube has made some changes to the player response json.

Error While getting Youtube Data:com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Unterminated string at line 1 column 121677 path $.args.player_response

The error is on the following code:

private PlayerResponse parseJson(String body) throws Exception {
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
LogUtils.log("Body: "+body);
response = new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create().fromJson(parser.parse(body), Response.class);
return new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create().fromJson(response.getArgs().getPlayerResponse(), PlayerResponse.class);
}

I guess there is need some changes on regex pattern.

Someone will help us !

I think this has to do with captcha needed for streaming video because of youtube's new policy

Yeah, same issue here, anybody got a fix for it?

I found some revised yesterday in something similar to this project.
I'm leaving a link as I think this can help with the correction.

change
String regexPlayerJson="(?<=ytplayer.config\s=).?((\}(\n|)\}(\n|))|(\}))(?=;)";
to
String regexPlayerJson="(?<=ytplayer.config\s=).?((\}(\n|)\}(\n|))|(\}))(?=;ytplayer)";

in YoutubeStreamExtractor.java. It worked for me.

[kawulogustidev]

Another alternative, use https://github.com/sealedtx/java-youtube-downloader, then use the code to the Extractor. It also worked for me.

It doesn't work even if I change it like below
String regexPlayerJson="(?<=ytplayer.config\s=).?((\}(\n|)\}(\n|))|(\}))(?=;ytplayer)";
ㅠ_ㅠ

When I try this, it works.

String regexPlayerJson="(?<=ytplayer.config\s=).*?((\}(\n|)\}(\n|))|(\}))(?=;ytplayer)";
