Youtube VideoInfo script no longer working

[sunil11475]

From Last month YouTube get VideoInfo no longer working. I have tested different video info code and curl no getting any information.

Error 01
No format stream map found - was the video id correct?

Error 02
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getUrl() on null in /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ControllerAbstract.php:252 Stack trace: #0 /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ResultController.php(101): YoutubeDownloader\Application\ControllerAbstract->getDownloadUrlByFormat(Object(YoutubeDownloader\Provider\Youtube\VideoInfo), 'ipad') #1 /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/App.php(83): YoutubeDownloader\Application\ResultController->execute() #2 /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/getvideo.php(23): YoutubeDownloader\Application\App->runWithRoute('results') #3 {main} thrown in /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ControllerAbstract.php on line 252

I have changed the server and it worked but after 2 days it stop again. If you think proxy can solve this issue then please check the below error -

Error 03
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getType() on null in /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ResultController.php:91 Stack trace: #0 /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/App.php(83): YoutubeDownloader\Application\ResultController->execute() #1 /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/getvideo.php(23): YoutubeDownloader\Application\App->runWithRoute('results') #2 {main} thrown in /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ResultController.php on line 91

Please let me know if you have any solution.

Is anybody have idea how to fix this issue?

Figured it out.

1. In Provider.php script, method provide() switch back to using

$video_info_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=' . $input . '&asv=3&el=detailpage&hl=en_US'

instead of

$video_info_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=' . $input . '&asv=3&hl=en_US';

2. Seems like video_info no longer contains video_id, which is why we need to pass it in manually to createFromStringWithOptions() method of VideoInfo.php like this:

public static function createFromStringWithOptions($string, array $options, $video_id)
    {
        $default = [
            'decipher_signature' => false,
        ];

        foreach ($default as $key => $value) {
            if (! array_key_exists($key, $options)) {
                $options[$key] = $value;
            }
        }

        parse_str($string, $video_info);

        $video_info["video_id"] = $video_id;

        return new self($video_info, $options);
    }

3. Now, back in Provider.php script in method provide() you would call the method VideoInfo::createFromStringWithOptions like this:

$video_info = VideoInfo::createFromStringWithOptions( $response->getBodyAsString(), $this->options, $input );

The $input variable should contain our youtube ID if we are passing it in when calling the script.

If this truly works, could you make a pull request so we can merge the changes in?

@Emmanuelasika that was solved some time ago - you'll need to grab the latest code, not just the latest release - it's also not related to this thread

I have update code on server. I updated code as you commented but i was getting below error -

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method YoutubeDownloader\Http\Response::getBodyAsString() in /Domain/app/youtube/src/Provider/Youtube/Provider.php:168 Stack trace: #0

So i have change your below code

$video_info = VideoInfo::createFromStringWithOptions( $response->getBodyAsString(), $this->options, $input );

to

$video_info = VideoInfo::createFromStringWithOptions( $response->getBody()->__toString(), $this->options, $input );

getBodyAsString() error gone but this error came back -

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getType() on null in /MYHOSTPATH/httpd.www/app/youtube/src/Application/ResultController.php:91 Stack trace: #0
