Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi @zzzeusss,

I believe this is related to issue #16078. Apparently Pornhub has implemented some site changes regarding the user profiles, and this is causing some problems when trying to fetch playlists of videos.

A new PR has already been submitted to address this, unfortunately the peer review has been stalled for some time now.

Cheers,

I’m very surprised that the pull request hasn’t been accepted after all these months?

@parmjitv how can I run / use your version or Pornhub extractor?

[parmjitv]

@github-userx - Strictly speaking we should pull code that has been vetted and merged by the collaborators, as this will be properly maintained over time. At any rate the pull request needs some work yet - please see PR #17454 for details.

Cheers,
