Oops! I think my reader didn't care, so I didn't notice this. Fixed. Thanks.
Hello i'm pretty new to python, i'm trying to run your .py file.
I checked python is running well, I also put the json file in the correct place as you noted above. I used cmd to run the python but it has no feedback/return.
Is there any way to know if it's running correctly? Or perhaps my json file is a little big and it will take some time?
Please help because youtube subscription really messed up now, Thank you in advanced.
Since the last time I used this, YouTube changed the subscription list to csv instead of json. I created a fork here to support both json and csv
