"subtitles are disabled for this video" for every video I try

Hi Team,

I’m really enjoying Gumloop, thanks for your efforts!

I have a more sophisticated loop in mind but have hit a stumbling block on the Get Youtube Transcript node. Every video I try fails that node with the:

“Get Youtube Transcript Failed!
Could not retrieve a transcript…because subtitles are disabled for this video.”

Other tools I tried do get the transcript (fabric and notebooklm) from the same video so I’m not sure if it this is expected or not with Gumloop in how it transcribes. The video I am using does have a transcript and subtitles.

Loop:

I may well misunderstand the capabilities or otherwise be doing something incorrectly so thank you for any help!

Hey @Bower! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={your_run_id}&workbook_id={workbook_id}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

Hey @Bower - This should be fixed now, please check and let me know. Sorry about the interruption.

Hi Wasay, it’s running great now, thanks for the quick fix and follow-up! I’ve built 3 applications I’ve been thinking for awhile in less than a day. Awesome stuff!
