Scanner picking up channels but plex isnt organizing them

I added both the youtube scanner and Absoulete series scanner to my plex server but when I add the channels with the name "Channe; [ID here]" it picks it up and I can see it in plex but it doesn't get the information from the video. I have tubesync installed currently and its working fine grabbing media but when it comes over to plex, it just doesn't properly index the videos.

Too many videos in channel? It cannot find the video ID in channel video list so json file recommended alongside the video

Playlist is the recommended way but channel is meant to work. Dunno how to fix if the YouTube xml does not include all channel's videos...

Is 76 videos too many? I have a playlist from pewdiepie downloaded but not his entire channel because that's thousands of videos. Here is an example of one video with path and file name.

Definitely not correct. The video ID is not in square brackets. It wouldn't get metadata that way.

Ok I went back and fixed the file names with brackets and redownloaded the files again. here are the logs from that. having same issue in plex. also for the plex library settings, I have both set to series scanner and youtube series and for the settings, I checked "Set YouTube usernames as director in metadata" API key is own, default episode sorting and hidden seasons if that matters.

So i have an update to my issue. I was going through some of the posts #124 that said putting them in folders worked. That worked for me, I'm able to see the thumbnails and they have the right information, but still some episodes arent being shown in plex. For example I have 45 episodes in total but only 43 of them are showing.

Eps missing is a scanner issue, would need scanner logs for impacted foldet/channel

Here are the logs.

These are NOT the ASS custom scanner log, located in a library names folder inside log folder
If not using ASS as a plex scanner, i will deny support as it is clearly indicated in the documentation as a requirement

Two episodes came out the same day, while it use to work i had to hack it to make it work and doesn't see to work anymore...
we use the year as season and date as episode number. If multiple then we need to add '1', '2' to the date etc... but currently code for channel do not support multiple videos that came out the same day

Youtube2 mode might fix
