getChannelVideos() does not work

[Reichmann-M]

I'm sorry but channel video search doesn't work.

Neither by using an actual channel id (e.g. 'UC6eCu3YVjhlB1mjRILyw0tQ') nor by using the example id ('PLAbeRqyTx1rIGWY13HgPyh0VF0LdoTQFp'). By the way this is a playlist id not a channel one.

I hope you can fix this :)

First, It works for me,

await usetube.getChannelVideos('UC6eCu3YVjhlB1mjRILyw0tQ', '2019-11-10T23:35:38.000Z')

return this:

  { id: '3afiDpmz62g',
    original_title:
     'Dieser Youtuber bewertet mein Inventar mit über $ 500,000! 🤑',
    title:
     'Dieser Youtuber bewertet mein Inventar mit über $ 500,000! 🤑',
    artist: '',
    duration: 1474,
    publishedAt: 2020-05-28T05:08:44.000Z },
  { id: 'rLrFn46MOI4',
    original_title:
     'CS:GO - Da kann man mal clutchen! #20 - Die GEGNER wurden leider GEKAUFT!',
    title: 'Die GEGNER wurden leider GEKAUFT!',
    artist: 'CS:GO - Da kann man mal clutchen! #20',
    duration: 601,
    publishedAt: 2020-05-18T04:01:54.000Z },
  ... 32 more items ]
Done in 87.67s.

Now,
there might be two reasons for getChannelVideos() not to return any result :

1. you sent too much query to youtube with usetube and getChannelVideos() return undefined
2. you try to get too much videos from a channel (1349 videos for the channel id you try),
   If so try to use published_after param like this :

await usetube.getChannelVideos('UC6eCu3YVjhlB1mjRILyw0tQ', '2019-11-10T23:35:38.000Z')

And finally, Indeed it's a playlist Id, thanks !
I prepare corrections and a getPlaylistVideos() function for the next version of usetube.

Cheers

I just finish the test for the 1349 videos channel and it takes 839.12s ... but it works.

Cool man, thank you very much. I am looking forward to next commits. I'll close this for now.

Bye :)

I just update UseTube v1.3.0.
UseTube v1.3.0 contains a getPlaylistVideos() function.
Go check the readme for more details.

Just try again

await usetube.getChannelVideos('UC6eCu3YVjhlB1mjRILyw0tQ', '2019-11-10T23:35:38.000Z')

it take while but it should works :)

cheers
