Syntax error: ")" unexpected

[norkunas]

Hello,

If you don't need to list any other information then don't list 😅 basically all information is parsed from JSON and it's parsing is fast.

[norkunas]

Probably you'll need to find some proxy then which is not blocked by viu.com

[norkunas]

yes, you could make a pull request, that would be awesome :)

[garry911]

hello .
any suggesrtion ? :)

Thanks

[norkunas]

Hello, sorry for late reply.
Are you using youtube-dl binary for windows in an unix environment?

[garry911]

Hi

Yes . I am using php version 7.2 in ubuntu Linux .

[norkunas]

Then you need to download youtube-dl for linux :) https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

And then set $yt->setBinPath('/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl');

[garry911]

Thanks It is working like charm .
And also where can I set new options and halt other default options .

Thanks .

[norkunas]

If you need to use the library based on other options, just instantiate a different instances, for example:

$videoYt = new YoutubeDl([
    'format' => 'bestvideo',
]);
$video = $videoYt->download('url');

$audioYt = new YoutubeDl([
    'extract-audio' => true,
    'audio-format' => 'mp3',
]);
$audio = $audioYt->download('url');

and that's all. :)

[garry911]

:)
setting up this options only will halt other downloading default options ? Because I don't want the command programme to download it each and every time it run .

[norkunas]

Sorry, could you be more clear? Because I don't understand know what do you want to do 🤔

[garry911]

I only need subtitles , no audio , videos etc and also no downloads :)

[norkunas]

We talked about this in #72 (comment) you said it's working :)

[garry911]

Cool .Yes it is working great. But if I only need to list subs . Actually it is downloading subtitles . If I want to skip download . Can I ?

[norkunas]

I don't think so as I don't see that youtube-dl itself would support this.

[garry911]

Hi ,

Thanks for the help you did .
I need some suggestion here .
I only want the to list all the available subtitles and no listing of videos format , audios etc .
& how can i speed up the listing using your library ( do i need to add some options ? ) .

Hope you understand what i need . any help is much appreciable .
Thanks .

[garry911]

😄 cool .

And one More thing

1. how to set sub format option as srt , If listing subtitles .
2. can we make automatic captions using subtitles i.e , If I am translating English to French or English to Chinese .
   That's it .

Thanks .

[norkunas]

To be clear, this library is mostly created to ease setuping for downloading url -> video or url -> audio.
If you don't need any of this functionality, I suggest you to use youtube-dl binary directly in php,
or decorate this library with your own class and add subtitles listing helper method like getExtractorsList.
There is a --list-subs and --sub-format options, so your helper could look like:

public function getSubtitlesList(string $url): array
{
    $process = $this->createProcess([$url, '--list-subs', 'sub-format=srt']);
    $process->mustRun(is_callable($this->debug) ? $this->debug : null);

    // do something with $process->getOutput()..
}

So this would let you to get subtitles in srt format.

[garry911]

hello ,
added the getSubtitlesList( ) in your library .
the response is no subtitles at all only the formats . can i make the subtitles using these
options( 'skip-download', 'all-subs' ,'list-subs','write-sub','write-auto-sub' , 'sub-format', 'sub-lang' ) .
so to get the max. available subtitles
I have used the youtube-dl $yt = new YoutubeDl( ) to call this method & the response is no subtitles only the formats .
[0] => [viki] 1119776v: Downloading video JSON
[1] => [viki] 1119776v: Downloading video streams JSON
[2] => Available subtitles for 1119776v:
[3] => Language formats
[4] => tr vtt, srt
[5] => pt vtt, srt
[6] => en vtt, srt
[7] => ar vtt, srt
[8] => fr vtt, srt
[9] => es vtt, srt
[10] => de vtt, srt

[norkunas]

Ok, so now it's more clear to me what do you want :) then that method is useless for you.
I've tested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw with these options:
skip-download, all-subs and the output I've got:

      ["subtitles"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["en"]=>
        object(YoutubeDl\Entity\Subtitles)#4 (1) {
          ["elements":protected]=>
          array(2) {
            [0]=>
            array(2) {
              ["url"]=>
              string(74) "https://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?lang=en&fmt=ttml&name=&v=Ye8mB6VsUHw"
              ["ext"]=>
              string(4) "ttml"
            }
            [1]=>
            array(2) {
              ["url"]=>
              string(73) "https://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?lang=en&fmt=vtt&name=&v=Ye8mB6VsUHw"
              ["ext"]=>
              string(3) "vtt"
            }
          }
        }
      }

Is this want you want? Having this format you can get the subtitles from the retrieved URL's.
Also tried with --sub-format srt and then if video doesn't have srt format of subtitles then yt-dl will download another format:
WARNING: No subtitle format found matching "srt" for language en, using vtt
So if you want to parse the subtitles then I'd suggest you to write parsers for any format.

[garry911]

Hello ,
Yes exactly this is what i want. I am using it like this .
$yt = new YoutubeDl([
// 'skip-download' => true,
// 'all-subs' => true,
// 'list-subs' => true,
// 'write-sub' => true,
// 'write-auto-sub' => true,
// 'sub-format' => 'string',
// 'sub-lang' => 'string',
]);
$video = $yt->download($url);
basically these options setup gives me result for the subtitles & the automatic captions .
But i want to remove that extra data and speed en up the process .
What best i can do .

Thanks .

[norkunas]

It's impossible to provide to the youtube-dl binary what fields do you need. So when you get the $video just ead the subtitles and ignore other context, as I said earlier it's already fast, you wouldn't notice any difference in speed if other fields wouldn't be denormalized to video model.

[garry911]

Thanks .
Yes setting these options gives me all list of subtitles etc and that means the script is okay in my previous comment .No need to change now . And one more thing . Do this library converts ISO lang codes to language name .

[norkunas]

I don't think so, but you can use Intl.

[garry911]

Thank you again 😊 .
And what about the script ?
Options setting for class YouTube dl .
It is okay ?

[norkunas]

@garry911 it looks good to me, except the list-subs, it does the discussed thing in #73 (comment)

[garry911]

Hello .

If i wants to use few more options . where should i add new options .
As i get this error
" The options "convert-subtitles srt", "sub-format ttml" do not exist. " .

After adding " 'sub-format ttml' => 'string',
'convert-subtitles srt' => 'string', "

these options in this section .
$yt = new YoutubeDl([
// 'skip-download' => true,
// 'all-subs' => true,
// 'list-subs' => true,
// 'write-sub' => true,
// 'write-auto-sub' => true,
// 'sub-format' => 'string',
// 'sub-lang' => 'string',
]);

Thanks .

[garry911]

Hi,
This is working great. Thanks.
But I have some video that " Failed to download " due LC_ALL environment variable and the error is

WARNING: Assuming --restrict-filenames since file system encoding cannot encode all characters. Set the LC_ALL environment variable to fix this. ERROR: This video is not available in your region.

Is there any thing i can set " LC_ALL " env variable using this repository,

Thanks.

[norkunas]

Hey, this is a php function and is not related to this library at all, please try it.

[garry911]

Hey, Do you have any solution for this Error?
I am failing in executing these videos url. Hope you know some :)

Failed to download: The command "'youtube-dl' 'https://www.viu.com/ott/ph/en-us/vod/42352/Chief%20Kim' '--no-playlist' '--ignore-config' '--write-info-json' '--skip-download' '--write-sub' '--write-auto-sub' '--socket-timeout=2' '--sub-lang=string' '--restrict-filenames'" failed. Exit Code: 1(General error) Working directory: /var/www/html/apps/coresub/public/downloads Output: ================ [viu:ott] 42352: Downloading video info Error Output: ================ ERROR: This video is not available in your region.

[norkunas]

Hey @garry911, does it work if you call that command directly in console? If not could you check if that works with some of these options:

--geo-verification-proxy URL     Use this proxy to verify the IP address for
                                 some geo-restricted sites. The default
                                 proxy specified by --proxy (or none, if the
                                 option is not present) is used for the
                                 actual downloading.
--geo-bypass                     Bypass geographic restriction via faking
                                 X-Forwarded-For HTTP header
--no-geo-bypass                  Do not bypass geographic restriction via
                                 faking X-Forwarded-For HTTP header
--geo-bypass-country CODE        Force bypass geographic restriction with
                                 explicitly provided two-letter ISO 3166-2
                                 country code
--geo-bypass-ip-block IP_BLOCK   Force bypass geographic restriction with
                                 explicitly provided IP block in CIDR
                                 notation

Because as the error says it's not available in your region, so it's the geo restriction IIUC.

[garry911]

No, running command in console shows me the same error.
ERROR: This video is not available in your region.

I have tried adding these options like this. \Before that i have added these options YoutubeDl.php file.
Things seems not working and the error is same. What URL, CODE and IP_BLOCK can i use to remove these warnings.

$yt = new YoutubeDl([
'skip-download' => true,
'geo-verification-proxy' => 'string',
'geo-bypass' => 'string',
'geo-bypass-country' =>
])

can you please tell me the ryt format to use these option Or any Example.

[norkunas]

@garry911 did you try the console command with appending the --geo-bypass option?

[garry911]

Yes the result was same. Video not available in your region.

[norkunas]

Then sorry because I don't have any suggestions 😞

[garry911]

Okay. Could you please tell me the right way to do this with correct syntax. As I am getting the error like these option not found. Some other predefined options are found. I think I need to add the not found options in your repository somewhere in YouTube-dl.php.

[garry911]

Thanks. I will
