Not working with Youtube_AgeGateBypass.py

notice it's youtube:AGB, not youtube:NSIG+AGB as expected

ytdlp_plugins/extractor/__init__.py :

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

Or maybe i'm doing something wrong?

What happens if you import them in reverse order?

What happens if you import them in reverse order?

like this?

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

@0xcc07c9 Thanks, fixed
