Tracks that are missing from the YouTube playlist don't appear in the "noresults" file

[lucasrangit]

My Spotify playlist has 1587 tracks. The YouTube playlist created has 1511. However, the "noresults" file only contains 4. I expect there to be 76.

Note: the playlist is named "1587" (the number of tracks) for convenience as I validate the transfer.

That is strange. How many videoIds do you have in l. 182 after running search_songs? You can add a breakpoint or debug print statement to find out. Perhaps also print out all the videoIds in case there is something strange going on.

https://github.com/sigma67/spotifyplaylist_to_ytmusic/blob/73083329f07bdcf9fed853e8fe9abfa2cd3d409e/YouTube.py#L182-L183

[lucasrangit]

In main():
wc -l noresults_youtube.txt: 3
len(videoIds): 1584

Then in add_playlist_items() after OrderedDict.fromkeys(videoIds):
len(videoIds): 1512

YouTube Music playlist contains 1512.

I think it's either duplicate tracks or duplicate matches from songs that have similar names but different lengths? So maybe not an issue. I'll log the tracks names when there's a videoId "collision" and see if that's true.

[lucasrangit]

The Spotify playlist has duplicates (e.g. added from different region/language, or added by a different person). If I add the the number of missing and duplicate tracks I get what I expected.

Since duplicates will be matched to the same YouTube Music track, I suggest logging them in duplicates.txt file. Then you can easily see that if you add noresults_youtube.txt with duplicates.txt you get the number of YouTube Music playlist tracks. I'll make a PR for this to show you what I mean.

The alternative is to remove duplicates from the Spotify playlist when it's first retrieved. But there are other tools to do that (eg. https://github.com/stavlocker/SpotifyNoDupes) if necessary.

[sigma67]

Maybe I'm misremembering, but duplicates shouldn't be lost when transferring the playlist? If they are it would be a bug.

Edit: Nvm this is intentional behavior. Perhaps we should add a flag to include duplicates optionally, as it's not immediately apparent to the user

[Hidroxiapatito]

My issue is that my "noresults" file is generated but it's empty, and I expect there to be 9 tracks.

I'm using windows, running the "create" command from the "site-packages" folder.
I had to rename main.py to main.py for it to work.

This happens with the "create" and "liked "commands (that I have tried so far). There are some tracks that are not found but don't appear in the "noresults" file.
Examples of those are:
1.
https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/0xMsn2VuXcfdf2Ksw4qz7G?si=53ba167f6cec4da2
Which should be found as:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mflNDS0tEOM&pp=ygURY29tcGFueSBzaXIgY2hsb2U%3D
2.
https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/5UoCTv7xzBe9BytsuXxBqP?si=72c8c97b9735464f
Which should be found as:
https://youtu.be/mqps5JITgCI?si=7LehBYEDwWYLp4qH

Which now that I test them separately it seems that they get matched to the wrong song.

[LilSlippinJimmy]

I'm getting this same issue, but i'm missing songs that aren't dupes. Nothing in the noresults file

[Fazyfaz]

Encountered the same problem,
Liked songs on spotify: 989 | after creating a YTM playlist: 939 | loss: 50 songs
Spotify playlist 'Calm': 346 | after creating a YTM playlist: 341 | loss: 5 songs
Spotify playlist 'K': 917 | after creating a YTM playlist: 909 | loss: 8 songs

Before transferring my liked songs from Spotify to YTM, I too, thought this was a duplicate problem. But you can't like a song twice on Spotify nor can you have duplicates there. So I suspect it skips some songs for other reasons.

My noresults_youtube.txt is completely empty. So I have yet to figure out what songs it missed.

[sigma67]

I would go ahead and implement the suggestion by Lucas to dump duplicates in a separate file, since this keeps coming up
