As the "No views" string is returned in the case there is no view on a video, a
number cannot be parsed in this case, so -1 was returned.
This string is now detected in all methods to get the view count of a stream.
webCommandMetadata object is contained inside a commandMetadata one, so it is
not accessible from the root of the navigationEndpoint object.
The corresponding statement has been moved at the bottom of the specific
endpoints parsing, as the webCommandMetadata object is present almost
everywhere, otherwise URLs of some endpoints would have be changed, such as
uploader URLs (from channel IDs to handles).
As no ParsingException is now thrown by getUrlFromNavigationEndpoint, and so by
getTextFromObject, getUrlFromObject and getTextAtKey, the methods which were
catching ParsingExceptions thrown by these methods had to be updated.
URLs got in the HTML version of getTextFromObject are now escaped properly to
provide valid HTML to clients. This has been also done for attribute
descriptions, with the description text for this type of descriptions.
As YouTube descriptions are in HTML format (except for the fallback on the JSON
player response, which is plain text and only happens when there is no visual
metadata or a breaking change), all URLs returned are escaped, so tests which
are testing presence of URLs with escaped characters had to be updated (it was
only the case for YoutubeStreamExtractorDefaultTest.DescriptionTestUnboxing).
The yt:channelId element doesn't provide the channel ID anymore and is empty,
like the id element, so we need now to extract it from the channel URL provided
in two elements: author -> uri and feed -> link.
Also avoid a NullPointerException in getUrl and getName methods.
- Return duration of video premieres;
- Add another non-localized method to determine whether a stream is a running
livestream;
- Return view count and upload date of videos in playlists;
- Store isPremiere result;
- Remove shorts workaround code, as it was only useful on channels and shorts
have been moved into a separated channel tab;
- Improve some other code.
This header was not sent partially before and was added and guessed by OkHttp. This can create issues when using other HTTP clients than OkHttp, such as Cronet.
Some code in the modified classes has been improved and / or deduplicated, and usages of the UTF_8 constant of the Utils class has been replaced by StandardCharsets.UTF_8 where possible.
Note that this header has been not added in except in YoutubeDashManifestCreatorsUtils, as an empty body is sent in the POST requests made by this class.
