The crystal http client maintains a keepalive connection to the other
server which stays alive for some time. This should be closed if the
client instance is not used again to avoid hogging resources
This is similar to the removed `top-enabled` option but for the Popular feed.
The instance needs to be restarted if the feed was enabled.
Editing admin options on the preferences page is also fixed.
The handling of the feed pages now only happens in a single place.
Instead of redirecting:
- The Top feed now displays a message that it was removed from Invidious.
- The Popular feed now displays a message that it was disabled if it was.
Everything that gets logged now has a log level associated with it.
The log level can be set with the new `-l` or `--log-level` arguments.
The defaul log level is `debug` for now. There aren't many things that get
logged but if the logs get spammed in the future it can be set down to `info`.
The YouTube headers are now always added for requests to YouTube.
Previously they were only added for requests going through QUIC.
The session token is now JSON decoded to unescape escaped Unicode characters.
The comment continuation protobuf has been updated and the request now goes
through the YouTube `pbj` JSON API.
Electric Boogaloo
The long backtrace has been moved into a `<details>` HTML element, as suggested
by @B0pol. To make the error still visible it has been added to the top under
`Title:`. This also encourages informative issue titles.
Error handling has been reworked to always go through the new `error_template`,
`error_json` and `error_atom` macros.
They all accept a status code followed by a string message or an exception
object. `error_json` accepts a hash with additional fields as third argument.
If the second argument is an exception a backtrace will be printed, if it is a
string only the string is printed. Since up till now only the exception message
was printed a new `InfoException` class was added for situations where no
backtrace is intended but a string cannot be used.
`error_template` with a string message automatically localizes the message.
Missing error translations have been collected in https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/1497
`error_json` with a string message does not localize the message. This is the
same as previous behavior. If translations are desired for `error_json` they
can be added easily but those error messages have not been collected yet.
Uncaught exceptions previously only printed a generic message ("Looks like
you've found a bug in Invidious. [...]"). They still print that message
but now also include a backtrace.
In practice with the patch I usually see backoff to 2 hours when blocked, so it should improve recovery time. The lim_thread is to work with multi-threading, not sure if it's the best way to do it.
* Use new API to fetch videos from channels
This mirrors the process used by subscriptions.gir.st. The old API is
tried first, and if it fails then the new one is used.
* Use the new API whenever getting videos from a channel
I created the get_channel_videos_response function because now instead
of just getting a single url, there are extra steps involved in getting
the API response for channel videos, and these steps don't need to be
repeated throughout the code.
The only remaining exception is the bypass_captcha function, which still
only makes a request to the old API. I don't know whether this code
needs to be updated to use the new API for captcha bypassing to work
correctly.
* Correctly determine video length with new api
* Remove unnecessary line
