YTPlay 3

YTPlay V3.01 is “ready”. You can download here.
!Store will follow soon, I hope.
Have tested with Python3 from the regulary PackMan sources on Pi4(00), ARMX6 and Titanium. All was working.
Changes to RC2 are any internal stuff, ytsearch and ytplay now you can install/upgrade via the YTPlay configure window.

Hi Raik,

Hope you and your family had a good break.

I had YTPlay 3.01 working until today when I updated youtube-search-python from 1-3-2 to 1-3-4 and now it will not search.

it gives the following error:

“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<YTPlay$Dir>.Resources.my_ytsearch/py”, line 4, in
from youtubesearchpython import SearchVideos
File “SCSI::SSD.$.PythonSite.Python38.Site-Packages.youtubesearchpython.init/py”, line 1, in
from youtubesearchpython.search import Search, VideosSearch, ChannelsSearch, PlaylistsSearch, CustomSearch

File “SCSI::SSD.$.PythonSite.Python38.Site-Packages.youtubesearchpython.handlers.requesthandler/py”, line 4, in
import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ’pkg_resources’"

I rather foolishly did not take a backup of PythonSite before doing the upgrade.

Hope the error above gives a clue as to the issue?

OK fixed it by specifically installing youtube-search-python 1.3.2 with the following command:

*python3 -m pip install youtube-search-python==1.3.2

This installed the specific version rather than the latest.

YTPlay 3.01 is now searching again!

Think it is due to a depreciation of some of the search commands in 1.3.4?

Anyway learnt a bit more about Python today :-)

I hope you and your family too.
Without your problem all fine here. ;-)

Thanks for your info.

Have take a look. Chris !YTSearch works also no longer. Have no really idea why. Looks like bigger changes in thy python packages. 1.3.3 is also not working.

Sorry, at this time I have no better solution than yours.

Will search next few days. Will compare the packages.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ’pkg_resources’"

Installing setuptools fixes it.

pip38 install setuptools

Looks like is not working for me.
After install setuptools and ytsearch update I get the same error message.

After install setuptools and ytsearch update I get the same error message.

Maybe setuptools install failed.

Try,

pip38 install --upgrade setuptools

Setuptools installation was sucessful tells me the taskwindow.
Upgrade found installed setuptools 41.2.0 but can not remove because files are missing.
Second try same messages but setuptools 51.1.1(?) are sucessful installed. Now all is working again.
Thanks a lot.

P.S. Makes it any difference if I use pip38 or python -m pip?
