Youtube Imports failing - "Unable to extract video data"

November 20 om 15:17

Are there any known issues with importing at the moment?

I cannot import video with CC from Youtube just this afternoon, and I am constantly getting these types of error - "Error:Importing failed - ERROR: 8gM6WJ-ED9A: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data", and this fails for any Youtube channel.

So, just to be sure it was not those videos which cause the problem, I also tried on video which I know that I had previously imported successfully with no issues in the past, and this is failing now as well.

I am on pc (which I have reset), using Chrome browser with LingQ extension version 1.7.19, and CC is activated on youtube video!

Is anyone else having this problem?

Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

zoran

Hi Zoran

Yes, this is working fine now, confirmed for both the links I provided earlier, and for some others too.

Was this hiccup perhaps linked to recent announcement that Youtube has decided to insert more advertisements within their posted videos perhaps???

By the way, this has been working fine up until yesterday, and I did not have any problems with this previously as seem to be experienced by other users as I have seen in the other 'Post' about similar issues.

Anyway, many thanks for quick response, very much appreciated .. :-)

Br, Frank

It makes me same thing, I tried videos that worked before with no problem, and now it doesn ´t work on those videos aswell.

Sorry to hear that. We are looking into it. Can you please provide a link to one of videos you are unable to import? Thanks!

Hi Zoran

"Error:Importing failed - ERROR: WwRs8oIckEQ: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data"..

As I said originally, it is still happening for 'any' youtube video with CC, but here are specific links, and note the error text includes the id of the video ...

Hope that helps with investigation?

Thanks

Although I lost all my belief that LingQ would EVER fix this problem with YouTube import, to my great surprise, it seems to have been fixed. I have uploaded another video from there successfully after some time of inactivity. Thank you.

All youtube imports still failing on pc with Chrome browser with same basic error text!

However, I have just successfully imported some youtube videos via iphone., on Safari browser.

So, at least not grounded while waiting for any resolution.

As before, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
