Description

Fails to get video. nickjr and nick.com recently updated their site, so video links also have different names. I believe they just changed the site structure, so if the nick module just gets updated for the new structure it should work again.

Working in yt-dlp: the extractor needs to be back-ported, and also the MTV extractor on which it depends needs to be updated, eg PR #30697. Also, duplicate of #30848.

However, in both cases this "episode" has three videos: is that what's expected?

Thanks, will try yt-dlp.

nick has episodes in segments, so yes three episodes is expected. :)

Also, duplicate of #30848

@dirkf out of interest, is there a reason why this issue, and other duplicates, are being left open? I feel like it makes youtube-dl's issue tracker more complicated

@dirkf commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2022):

Just that there was still a discussion pertinent to the specific case in the issue and I hadn't worked out whether that was concluded.

Actually the site (and other pages mediated by the MTV extractor) raised the question of how multi_video results are supposed to be handled.

In yt-dl playlist and multi_video seem to be treated the same regardless of the documented difference in semantics.

yt-dlp can concatenate a multi-file download from a multi_video result if the parts are compatible: this seems like the right thing to do.

In this case the info_dict should mark each episode of three items as multi_video.

I'm not sufficiently familiar with this site or the MTV extractor to know whether the relevant routine of the MTV extractor should always returns a multi_video result rather than a playlist. The relevant line has the comment TODO: should be multi-video (sic), leading one to question why a simple change like that below wasn't made.

In this case the `info_dict` should mark each episode of three items as `multi_video`. I'm not sufficiently familiar with this site or the MTV extractor to know whether the relevant routine of the MTV extractor should always returns a `multi_video` result rather than a `playlist`. The relevant line has the comment `TODO: should be multi-video` (_sic_), leading one to question why a simple change like that below wasn't made. ```diff --- old/youtube_dl/extractor/mtv.py +++ new/youtube_dl/extractor/mtv.py @@ -248,9 +248,12 @@ class MTVServicesInfoExtractor(InfoExtractor): if info: entries.append(info) - # TODO: should be multi-video - return self.playlist_result( + if len(entries) == 1: + return entries[0] + result = self.playlist_result( entries, playlist_title=title, playlist_description=description) + result['_type'] = 'multi_video' + return result def _extract_triforce_mgid(self, webpage, data_zone=None, video_id=None): triforce_feed = self._parse_json(self._search_regex( ```

MTV Extractor is now broken for mtv.com, so if this multi-video option can be fleshed out, might be a good time to try it. I was reading in yt-dlp that the API is no longer working which is causing the MTV.com part of the extractor to fail. It still works for vh1 and everything else, just mtv.com that stopped working.

We can make the extractor return multi_video for these sites (as above), but the core yt-dl processing would have to be changed to join the parts automatically.

MTV.com now has a JSON feed, which needs new handling like this:

While there are no combined streams, they aren't multi-part either.

PR #30967 needs more work.
