Some weird console outputs while requesting video info

[bigelle]

I was trying to run this block of code:

public File getFile() {
        Config config = new Config.Builder().maxRetries(1).build();
        YoutubeDownloader downloader = new YoutubeDownloader(config);

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter your query: ");
        String query = scanner.nextLine();

        RequestSearchResult searchRequest = new RequestSearchResult(query)
                .forceExactQuery(true)
                .sortBy(SortField.RELEVANCE);
        SearchResultItem result = downloader.search(searchRequest).data().items().getFirst();

        String videoId = result.asVideo().videoId();
        RequestVideoInfo videoRequest = new RequestVideoInfo(videoId)
                .callback(new YoutubeCallback<VideoInfo>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onFinished(VideoInfo videoInfo) {
                        System.out.println("Finished parsing");
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onError(Throwable throwable) {
                        System.out.println("Error: " + throwable.getMessage());
                    }
                })
                .async();
        Response<VideoInfo> response = downloader.getVideoInfo(videoRequest);
        VideoInfo video = response.data();
        }

and while getting response ive got this html(?) document in the console:

...and so on.

This code is working well but idk if i can get rid off this console output

[Brad1944]

From a quick google search I found that this happens when a query returned a youtube shorts video, which the library doesn't really know what to do yet

[sealedtx]

@Brad1944 are you sure about that? As far as I know youtube shorts video under the hood is same as regular youtube video and could be opened as regular video by videoId as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={videoId}

[Brad1944]

@sealedtx Can't really confirm since I haven't really dug into the code. Though a quick search led me to this github issue and this commit

I'm seeing similar behavior on my side. Any idea on how to hide those messages?

I did it by temporarily redirecting outputstream, something like:

// you're other code...

// redirecting outputstream to empty ByteArrayOutputStream:
PrintStream original = System.out
System.setOut(new PrintStream(new ByteArrayOutputStream))

// get your video...

//restoring original outputstream:
System.setOut(original)

I forgot where exactly you should put this code, but it's somewhere before and after getting your video

Nice hack! Thanks a lot!
