who is?

This is a patch to existing yt-dlp code. The majority of the file I don't own. Of the approx. 20 lines I add, most are largely based lines already there. I didn't consider anything in the pull request to be deserving of being a new "copyrighted" work that I would own. The patch is derivative and not deserving of being considered transformative. I think all the credit still belongs with the author that came before me.

If you need me to claim the code is "my own" then I will. The only source of inspiration was the code already available to me from the project. I am fine with releasing all claim that I might have to the code to be consistent with the yt-dlp license.

You are vouching for authorship of the patch, not the code you didn't add/change/remove.

The pre-existing code is already licensed under Unlicense and is not the issue.

[chilinux]

I authored the derivations of the code to produce the patch. No one else has a valid calm to authorship of this patch.

Great, please fill out the PR template accordingly -- this is necessary for licensing reasons

[chilinux]

PR template is now updated. Sorry about my confusion regarding my understanding of "original author."

@Jules-A would you mind testing this?

@Jules-A would you mind testing this?

Has major issues: Only finds 20 entries, only got 404s when it tried to download.

[TubiTvShow] Playlist yu-gi-oh-vrains: Downloading 20 items of 20
[download] Downloading item 1 of 20
[TubiTv] Extracting URL: tubitv:646817
[TubiTv] 646817: Downloading webpage
ERROR: [TubiTv] 646817: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by <HTTPError 404: Not Found>)

The switch away from using the API seems like a weird thing to do, the webpage only loads 20 entries at once.

Idk if it's helpful but this is the userscript I made a while ago to list all the episodes for extraction since there's no TubiTV playlist extractor: https://pastebin.com/raw/qVKtcYNT (very messy since I was too lazy) . Still seems to extract the ids just fine for all seasons from browser.

The series/show extractor was not touched by this PR. It has always extracted from the webpages. I was asking if you could test the video extractor

It removes /oz/ ? Which is the API.

[bashonly]

The video extractor removed the API and migrated to web. But the ShowIE has always used the webpage. Look at the code for the series extractor; it is unchanged

[bashonly]

The ShowIE is not the subject of this PR and thus will not be fixed in this PR. But I will push something so it at least doesn't give 404s

Oh whoops, right, my bad. Yeah the playlist extractor never worked anyway and extracting a single show seems to be working fine in some quick tests. Sorry I'm very tired right now.

@Jules-A all good, thank you for testing
