Pretty sure this is broken

Yeah, i'm going to look in somewhere else

I can't get this script to respond or work at all.

I added script in remote and the message showed:

[10:20] User has activated the LinkDetectorForYoutube script for #channel

But YouTube links don't do anything when pasted in from other users.

FordLawnmower please update this to work again. Youtube has changed and your wonderful script does not work anymore.

Thanks FordLawnmower, but doesn't work for me. No info whatsoever after posting links.

Not working, doesnt show any info when link is posted..

It's working now, thanks. You're the best, FordLawnmower !! \m/

• Line too long: $& (line 109, youtubetitle) i have this error :/

It's working, but doenst display "views". Any idea? Thanks again, FordLawnmower!

@incognitus - If you change Line-77 from

elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/watch-view-count">(.*)\sviews/i)) { 

to

elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/>([^<]*)<div class="watch-view/i)) {

it should be a temporary fix until Ford updates his code. :)

toclafane1 thanks for the tip but still doesnt work ;)

@incognitus - Try this instead:

elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/watch-view-count">(.*)</i)) {

Line-77. Sorry, the other worked when I posted it.

I still have this working @overlayer . What problem are you having?

i paste link in channel like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYeajoizdm0
and it doesn't display anything

Did you change anything or add a script that might conflict with this one @overlayer ?
It's still working fine here so, I'm just grasping at straws. Any info might help.

running mirc 7.32 and window's 8
when i do +ydetect it doesn't respond..or when i paste a link
i even reinstalled mirc and still can't seem to get it to work

Same here, +ydetect doesnt even respond.

Can you take a look at that, FordLawnmower? Thanks a lot.

Now that I look at this , something has happened to the code. Not sure if I'm at fault or @Hawkee .
Can you see anything wrong with this:

I'll post the correct code in a few moments.

@ovelayer , @incognitus
Updated

now it responds when activated but i still can't get it to respond when link is posted..
and yes i see the error in the A
sence the A was not correct is it possible
alias -l Xchr {
var %return $regsubex($regsubex($1-,/&#x([A-F0-9]{1,2});/g,$chr($base($regml(\n),16,10))),/&#([0-9]{2});/g,$chr(\1))
return $replacecs(%return,–,,·,·,»,»,«,«,Ü,Ü,ü,ü,Á,Á,á,á,É,$&
É,é,é,Í,Í,í,í,Ó,Ó,ó,ó,Ñ,Ñ,ñ,ñ,Ú,Ú,ú,ú, ,$chr(32),$&
æ,æ,",",&,&)
is incorect as well?
just a thought

FordLawnmower thanks for the update. Script works fine again but it doesnt show views and likes. Only title, uploader and date.

Can you add that too please. Thanks again : )

Replace line 65 with:

if ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/<span class="likes-count">(.*?)</span>/i)) {

That should fix the likes.

Replace line 68 with:

elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/<span class="dislikes-count">(.*?)</span>/i)) {

To fix the dislikes.

Replace line 71 with:

elseif (<span class="watch-view-count $"> isin %LinkDetectorForYoutube) {

That should fix the views.

Thanks, Vegito. Works great!

I didn't know this was broken again. Updated.

Could also add that we can see the length of the video.

This is only for youtube links. If you want to request scripts, it should be done in the forums.

Could you or someone else please fix this script it doesn't work at all, and contains odd things like

var ¬tion $strip($regml(1)), %id $strip($regml(4))
if (¬tion isin +-) && ($regex($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,/(!|~|&|@)/)) {
if (¬tion == +) {

Is that supposed to be %action and if so is that why it's broken?
On the other hand does this work fine for people, and it's just me?

this is the only error i see . it shows on status screen

• Invalid parameters: $replacecs (line 107, yt detect new)
• Invalid parameters: $replacecs (line 107, yt detect new)

Is it possible for someone to post a full working script that shows name, views, upload date, likes and dislikes.
I use a very old version works fine but as youtube has changed it will now only show name and upload date.

Try this... there is a slight error in lines 29, 30 and 31 with the variables.

On $*:Text:/(^[\+-])ytdetect$|(https?\x3a\/\/|www\.)(([\S]*youtube\.com[\S]+v\=)|(youtu\.be\/))([\S]{11})/Si:#: {
  var %tion $strip($regml(1)), %id $strip($regml(4))
  if (%tion isin +-) && ($regex($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,/(!|~|&|@)/)) {
    if (%tion == +) {
      if ($istok(%LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList,$+($network,$chan),32)) { .msg $chan $nick $chan is already running the LinkDetectorForYoutube script }
      else { 
        .enable #LinkDetectorForYoutube
        set %LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList $addtok(%LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList,$+($network,$chan),32)
        .msg $chan $nick has activated the LinkDetectorForYoutube script for $chan .
      }
    }
    else {
      if (!$istok(%LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList,$+($network,$chan),32)) { .msg $chan $nick $chan is not running the LinkDetectorForYoutube script }
      else { 
        Set %LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList $remtok(%LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList,$+($network,$chan),1,32)
        .msg $chan $nick has deactivated the LinkDetectorForYoutube script for $chan . 
      }
    }
  }
  elseif (!$timer($+(LinkDetectorForYoutube,$network,$nick))) && ($istok(%LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList,$+($network,$chan),32)) {
    .timer $+ $+(LinkDetectorForYoutube,$network,$nick) 1 4 noop
    GetLinkDetectorForYoutube .msg $chan %id
  }
}

It worked for me when I changed it. > [7:18pm] <~Stewie> +ytdetect
[7:18pm] <&thunderbolt> Stewie #i is already running the LinkDetectorForYoutube script

Yea, I had tried that before, realizing that the variable wasn't supposed to look the way it does. The original variable's name is %action and somehow it became ¬tion in the script above - but correcting it doesn't change anything. This newer version of the script still doesn't work for me, when all I do is copy&paste it (and change the variable in those 3 lines).
Thanks for trying to help though!

When you view the 'Variables' page... is something like this in it > %LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList Torn#i if not, maybe you could try adding the channels manually, just until you can get the +/-ytdetect to work. Also, you do have OP status or above in the channel, right? It won't work for the +/-ytdetect if you don't.

Thanks, that fix worked. Do you by chance know how to make likes/dislikes work again? :)

Try this:

  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname | return }

awesome. I tried to figure it out myself and had something similar, but it didn't work. You're the man, thanks.

You're welcome mate. :)

Yes, I know about %LinkDetectorForYoutubeChanList.

TL/DR: I'm out of ideas - but I'll just use the working version of the script that I have.

So... this version of the script is not working at all for you? :(

I've never seen this and I've been unable to reproduce it in several tries.

If I can't reproduce it , I won't be able to fix it. If you have anymore information that you think will help, please post it.

I've slightly modified the script, but I don't see why it would cause this. Posted below. Do you see any issues here?

;YouTube Link detector by Ford_Lawnmower irc.Geekshed.net #Script-Help
alias -l GetLinkDetectorForYoutube {
  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Start Setup;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
  ;;;; Change %tagcolor to the color you want for tags:
  var %tagcolor $+($chr(15),$chr(2))

  var %logo $+($chr(2),$nick))
  ;;;; Change %tagSelection to choose the tags you want displayed.
  ;;;; Valid tags are: title views likes dislikes uploader and date

  var %sockname $+(LinkDetectorForYoutube,$network,$2,$ticks,$r(1,1000))

  hadd %sockname textcolor %textcolor
  hadd %sockname logo %logo
  sockopen %sockname www.youtube.com 80
  sockmark %sockname $1-2 $+(/watch?v=,$3)
}

And this:

elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/class="long-title".*title="(.*?)">/)) {
      hadd $sockname title $+($hget($sockname,tagcolor),:) $+($hget($sockname,textcolor),$regml(1))
    }
    elseif ($regex(%LinkDetectorForYoutube,/<meta\sname="title"\scontent="(.*?)">/)) {
      hadd $sockname title $+($hget($sockname,tagcolor),:) $+($hget($sockname,textcolor),$regml(1))

I just copied and pasted the original script and it does the same thing. I'm still using mirc 6.2, if that matters.

This script probably won't work with 6.2 . I don't have the time to sort it out and see what issues it would have with 6.2 but I'm sure there are some. Most likely the issue is that the variable length being to short to read the youtube page. 6.2 is 7 years old and you will have trouble with lots of newer scripts if you keep using it. To upgrade, all you have to do is replace the mIRC.exe with a newer one. I would suggest 6.35 if you have a lot of older scripts.

I see, thanks. Any idea why likes and dislikes no longer work?
