Reproducable bug. Sometimes it lists the video description, sometimes it doesn't. No rhyme or reason. Didn't happen in older versions prior to youtube changing stuff up.

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))
;;;; Change %textcolor to the color you want for normal text
var %textcolor $chr(15)
;;;; Change %logo to change the YouTube logo
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 %tagSelection title views likes dislikes uploader date
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;End Setup;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
var %sockname $+(LinkDetectorForYoutube,$network,$2,$ticks,$r(1,1000))
hadd -m %sockname tags %tagSelection
hadd %sockname tagcolor %tagcolor
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))
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'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.
