Playlist has a large ammount of repeated videos

[TheFip]

Hello! I have run in to an error where videos get added multiple times in the same playlist.

For some reason this only happened in one of the four playlist I have created. I have tried to recreate this playlist multiple times, but sadly this error eventually always happened again.

So, I assume it has something to do with the list of channels for this playlist?

I really don’t know, is there anyway to solve this problem?

Is there something in the debug sheet? If the script adds one video to the playlist and then fails on a later video, then it doesn't update the timestamp and adds the same video again on the next run.

Thank you for the fast reply!
It does have something on the bug sheet for that row actually, it reads as follows:

Couldn't` update playlist with video (zJJa-p9U0oc), ERROR: Message: [API call to youtube.playlistItems.insert failed with error: Video not found.] Details: {"message":"Video not found.","code":404,"errors":[{"message":"Video not found.","reason":"videoNotFound","domain":"youtube.playlistItem"}]}

I guess its trying to insert a private video on the playlist, and causing an error cause of that?
If so, how could i solve this issue?

Similar issue with private videos here: #74. I'll add a workaround to ignore these errors

@TheFip I made the change to the script, either use http://bit.ly/subscriptionPlaylistsCopy to create a new copy of the sheet or copy the script from GitHub and paste it into your sheet's code editor. Let me know if the issue is fixed, thanks!

So is #74 fixed then?
