Per https://discord.com/channels/920056098122248193/1347902272063012885/1347929962656829440, the documentation for importing YouTube videos manually is slightly unclear for beginners, specifically the section regarding the .info.json sidecar. A couple of notable fields that could be added to improve clarity:

  • upload_date expects a "YYYYMMDD" format, without any hyphens or separators. The date needs to be surrounded by double quotes.
  • description requires double quotes around the value.
  • categories is the "video category" value, which doesn't appear to be displayed on the web GUI/frontend any more. Requires double quotes.
  • view_count expects a raw string, with no commas between decimal places, for instance 3333333 instead of 3,333,333 This value doesn't require quotes around the value.
