Duplicate importing of 1000s of Videos

  • Hi, I use this plugin on three different fansites that I manage for card games. https://www.agot.cards , https://www.lotr.cards , https://www.l5r.cards.

    Somehow, overnight, this plugin has imported 1500+ videos to all three sites. It appears to be about 10 copies of each individual video. Thankfully, I have them set to go to pending, so it hasn’t broken my frontpage, but it’s a lot of back end cleanup to do and I don’t know if it will keep doing this.

    Each site is subscribed to import to a different assortment of channels for that particular game. Each site is on a different host (agot.cards = a2, lotr.cards = wpmudev, l5r.cards = 1&1). Each one is running PHP 7.2 and the latest version of WordPress. They all run the same plugins aside from the a2 site using their a2 Optomized W3 cache. I’ve updated no plugins or changed any settings in the last 12 hours or so when it seems that this started occurring.

    I’m at a loss for what might be going on here. Any thoughts?

    I cleaned up the sites yesterday and came back to hundreds more of the same videos pulled back in to those sites again today.

    Same here, the plugin import lot of youtube overdated posts.
    It seems some youtube api calls changed. We need an update.
    After a manual update of a channel the new posts list is not well ordered, older posts are the first ones in the list , we should have newest posts first.

    I hope it will help the developer to make an update.

    Hi. After investigating we have confirmed this issue is related to a temporary bug on Youtube API preventing the videos to sort and therefore affecting the indexation process. Here is the link to the Google thread:

    https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/2494861?msgid=2520468

    And here is the official response from Youtube

    “YouTube is aware the search/sorting functions aren’t working as expected – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this. Will update this thread when these features are working normally again, feel free to subscribe for updates.”

    As soon as Youtube fixes the issue the functionality of the Plugin should be restored.

    Youtube has communicated that their API services are working again. More info here
