Playlist response is broken after YouTube API update

[03stevensmi]

It was working last time I used this. I Installed everything (net core 3.1.11 & 3.1.13 desktop, runtime & server.
Now I get this error:

SubTubular search-channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0rZoXAD5lxgBHMsjrGwWWQ --for "free speech,censorship,cancel culture,cancelculture,freespeech" --latest 500

Will you be able to fix it?

This seems to be working all right on my end - I can't reproduce the error. This part of the error message you posted suggests to me that this error may have been temporary:

TransientFailureException: Playlist response is broken.
In most cases, this error indicates that the problem is on YouTube's side and this is not a bug in the library.
To resolve this error, please wait some time and try again.

@03stevensmi Does this error persist on your end with a verified working internet connection? If not, please close this issue. Thanks!

[03stevensmi]

Yes the error persist on a verified working internet connection.

Funny enough it was working a few month ago before I uninstalled net core 3.1.
But now, no matter what version on net core 3.1 I run, I get that error every time.

Can you tell me the exact net-core 3.1 installation exe you are using?.
I've tried uninstalling net core 3.1.13 & installing 3.1.0 to see if that works.
But it doesn't.

Same error on version 3.1.10 as well.
Tried on another pc as well and same issue. :(

Yeah, the issue is happening to my friend as well. Same error message. I got him to try it out.
Is there anything you can do?
Maybe tell me what version of net core you use?
I've tried the oldest, the versions from the uploaded date of this github project, newest and so far... They all
Come with the exact same error. Both on 2 different pc's and on my mates pc who knows a lot more than I do.
Any help? Cheers!

Thanks for reporting this issue - finally got around to fixing it. The problem was indeed a change in the YouTube API. Please check out version 2.0.0!
