Error parsing N subscriptions (N is ~10% of the total list)

[VovaFreeman]

Tubefeeder constantly shows the Error message at the top of the window. About 10% of my ~300 subscriptions are not parsed. What information or logs can I provide to investigate this?

OS: Manjaro/Posh;
Build: On pinephone natively from latest source;
Start: From terminal Tubefeeder-1.6.2/target/release/tubefeeder;
STDERR: ERROR tf_platform_youtube::subscription Error generating youtube videos from subscription IDofAChannelHere;

The list was imported to csv file with bash. Double checked row entries and channels - all are working well in a browser or as separate entries.

I will need a little more information:

• Is the N varying or always the same number?
• Can you provide a more detailed log using RUST_LOG=trace cargo run in your terminal (or similar). I will not need everything, the main interest is probably the lines above the error you mentioned.
• Is there a pattern in above mentioned log, e.g. more failures at the end than at the start)?
• At least one youtube ID where this failed would be nice if always the same channels fail.
• Do you see the correct subscriptions (including names) in the subscription list? Do some subscriptions have their ID instead of their names (it will take a few moments before the names will be filled out, so please wait a while there)

• N is a constant for a day with constant playlist. (If a single subscription added/changed/deleted the whole picture changes: Number of unresolved channels and those channels);

• RUST_LOG

• Every 6th or 7th channel are not resolved (shown as IDs) but this is not consistent through a whole list. (sometimes its 2 together and 10 resolved after it). Most of the time there's a message at the top: "Error connecting to the network". But my pinephone is constantly connected to a 4G cellular network.

• For example 10 unresolved IDs (for today with my main playlist):
  UC2_mG3h-AxxK2oz08j2bz2g
  UC4HgnAtfzjyUhYV83jBe3Kg
  UC5ZsENSXOVzI0zHt4i2bZFw
  UC7Awuu4OccGePAeQlwtI1Yg
  UCCj7k6twL9MD9-fVU__Rk5A
  UCDqHUzLZmlESwpoJ6-1bxaQ
  UCEhBM2x5MG9-e_JSOzU068w
  UCFpGp4hHe03nvF9c8_gF_jA
  UCFsZ2CadKpAt_yInoTcVRnQ
  UCFxiUzeQ6ZPtnzZpUyNj9jw;

• Yes. All other channels are resolved (shown as Names) in the subscriptions tab and their new videos are shown in the feed if there are any.

I already see a few problematic channels on your subscription list (from the log):

• You query a channel with id Channel { here and one with id Id here and UCzml9bXoEM0itbcE96CB03w} where } is probably not allowed. Probably a error in the bash script of converstion.
• The channel The Silenced with ID UCOeX05Mko7ffxOl3Gg85NeA seems to have been deleted. It should still be possible to parse this, so this is a bug.
• From the list you have posted, the last ID has a ;. This is wrong, but correct in the log, probably just a copy-paste mistake on your side.
• UCl4C5SCTEt8_mo0VasoV0BA violated YouTubes TOS so it cannot be parsed correctly. I do not think I can do anything sensible in this case.

Other channels seem fine, I still have to investigate it a little bit closer. I already found some null values where there should be none.

I have fixed the parsing errors of (as far as I checked) all but the above mentioned problematic ones and made a PR to a upstream library used. As soon as this will be merged and a new version is released, I am going to publish a new version of Tubefeeder that should fix this issue. Thank you for your detailed logs.

[VovaFreeman]

Thank you for pointing on errors in my csv and for a fix. Hope this will merge soon. Have a great day/

A new version should be published to Flathub in a few hours. Please try if this fixed all issues and reopen otherwise.
