What happens if you import them in reverse order?

What happens if you import them in reverse order?

like this?

# flake8: noqa: F401

# ℹ️ The imported name must end in "IE"
from .sample import SamplePluginIE
from .Youtube_NsigProxy import Youtube_NsigProxyIE
from .Youtube_AgeGateBypass import Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE

log:

[debug] yt-dlp version 2022.09.01 [5d7c7d656] (source)
[debug] Lazy loading extractors is disabled
[debug] Plugins: ['SamplePluginIE', 'Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE', 'Youtube_NsigProxyIE', 'SamplePluginPP']

nothing changed

i can do this:

remove Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE import from ytdlp_plugins/extractor/__init__.py
and replace import in ytdlp_plugins/extractor/Youtube_NsigProxy.py to this:

from ytdlp_plugins.extractor.Youtube_AgeGateBypass import Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE as YoutubeIE

and then... it's working as expected

hm.. The plugin system wasn't really designed with this kind of use-case in mind. I will have to see what can be changed in yt-dlp to make this easier

Everything good with latest commit, except two small things

  • small typo "Needs yt-dlp 2021.09.17 or above" => "Needs yt-dlp 2022.09.17 or above"
  • nsig always use online solver, even if PREFER_SOLVER = False
