I tried to use
WWW::YouTube::Download, but it seems broken.
I wanted to use it to gather some info from the youtube url, i.e.:
- title
- list of all possible video and audio quality urls
at least, but I can't do even that. I get an error:
'"' expected, at character offset 1 (before "args:{raw_player_res...") at /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0/WWW/YouTube/Download.pm line 298.
I was going to provide a sample of the code, but then I found out, that this module comes with the utility:
youtube-download.
Trying to run:
youtube-download 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzZ8IaYkf7M'
brings up exactly the same error message, as above.
Are there some other modules, that allow to gather useful data from the YouTube url/content, that are not broken/outdated and don't have youtube-dl or any other external utility dependency?
