ytt's Issues

Electron/Nw.js Support?

This module works very well for node.js but if you try to use it under electron/nw.js it throws an error which makes it unusable:

Example (using Nw.js or Electron) :

var ytt = require("ytt");
ytt.playlist('PLCxjFBEyIgt1FmIYPZrodi19Vv_Z8K9LJ', true) // or any other method except "format" method

it throws :
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "listener" argument must be of type Function. Received type object

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443

For some reason I get this error and I don't know why. Error;
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443
How to solve?

util.parse error

Hello, I realize that the util.parse function leads to errors, because some scrapped pages does not contain window["ytInitialData"] = , but var ytInitialData = instead.

So consider the following parse function solves my error:

parse: x => main.between(x, 'var ytInitialData = ', '};', 1)

Is it possible to support the both alternatives ?

"Not an ID" error with some playlists

Uncaught Promise Rejection Error: Not an ID: 'PL4E1AE167C56AA012' at Object.error (/rbd/pnpm-volume/443e9cdc-4277-44b6-bfe1-27aff93692ed/node_modules/.registry.npmjs.org/ytt/2.0.5/node_modules/ytt/src/lib/util.js:3:15) at Object.module.exports [as valid] (/rbd/pnpm-volume/443e9cdc-4277-44b6-bfe1-27aff93692ed/node_modules/.registry.npmjs.org/ytt/2.0.5/node_modules/ytt/src/valid.js:11:27)

Really nice package, but i have "Not an ID" error when trying to get videos from playlists with...hm, "old type" id. For example, 'PL4E1AE167C56AA012', 'PL508A218FC66DAD72'.

Code example (working):
let playlist = await ytt.playlist('PLDfKAXSi6kUareOEtT2PsmWMmWVOWOs4x', { full: true }) if(playlist.items.continuation) await playlist.items.more() console.log(playlist.items.length)
Url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shk7qcvqDOo&list=PLDfKAXSi6kUareOEtT2PsmWMmWVOWOs4x"

(not working. Will give "not an id" error):
let playlist = await ytt.playlist('PL4E1AE167C56AA012', { full: true }) if(playlist.items.continuation) await playlist.items.more() console.log(playlist.items.length)
Url: "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4E1AE167C56AA012"

Error on some video with ytt.video('id') method

Sup.
On some videos id, "video" method gives error.
Videos example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA8JI1vM2FA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTvUCo0h8PI

Code example:
async function test() { let video = await ytt.video('HA8JI1vM2FA') console.log(video) } test()

Error:
(node:400) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'simpleText' of undefined at Object.text ("your project"/node_modules/ytt/src/lib/util.js:16:66) at Object.makeVideoObject ("your project"/node_modules/ytt/src/lib/builder.js:114:35) at Object.module.exports [as video] ("your project"/node_modules/ytt/src/video.js:9:23) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5) at async Client.<anonymous> ("your project"/Test/main.js:1473:13)

Empty query answer

Hello,
First of all, thank you for this amazing package.
I discover some problems using the query method. The following queries lead to empty result, which is not the case in YT:

1. joy departed
2. Marvin Gaye, 'What's Going On'

The case 1. is maybe related to the fact that an album is attached to the answer. The case 2. may be caused by the quotes.

query continuation not working anymore

search.items.continuation is always false:

let search = await ytt.query('ducks making very weird noises')
console.log(search.items.length) // 20
if (search.items.continuation) await search.items.more()
console.log(search.items.length) // 20

Because continuations[0].nextContinuationData.continuation does not exist anymore:

ytt/src/lib/builder.js

Line 57 in 5c8c634

continuation: list.continuations ? list.continuations[0].nextContinuationData.continuation : null,

ytt/src/lib/builder.js

Line 268 in 5c8c634

continuation: body.continuations ? body.continuations[0].nextContinuationData.continuation : null,

We could replace it with continuationItemRenderer.continuationCommand.token, however currently it gives the same items back and not the next ones.

Scrolling down the YouTube results page reveals that they've changed the way results get fetched.
The request uses the offical YouTube API now and requires an API key.
(disable_polymer not working anymore either)

Looking for possible workarounds...

(playlist continuation works fine though, because a continuations object is provided)

Error on ?some? videos with method ytt.video(video_id)

For example, videos video1, video2 gives error

Checking video with await ytt.valid(video_id) gives true
Searching videos with await ytt.query('search text', { filter: 'video', num: 20 }) and finding that video is ok

But when trying to use await ytt.video(video_id), it gives error
