BUG: iOS version fails in youtube site

[jldiaz]

Version :

• OS: iPadOS
• Browser: Safari
• Web Clipper version: 0.10.5
• Obsidian version: 1.7.7

Describe the bug

Opening a video in Safari, either with www.youtube.com or m.youtube.com, and then using obsidian web clipper shows only an error in place of the typical dialog with the results and the add to obsidian button. Even the templater selector or the "..." to see the variables are gone, as the following screenshot shows.

The error says: "Unable to initialize page content: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'e.description.slice')"

I deleted all my templates, just in case, and restored the default template, but the result is the same. This bug is new on 0.10.5, everything was fine before.

Expected behavior

Not to break the plugin.

URLs where the bug occurs

Any video in youtube.

Additional note

I guess the problem was introduced in the new youtube extractor, in particular at line 36 in youtube.ts (

obsidian-clipper/src/utils/extractors/youtube.ts

Line 36 in d9a8758

description: videoData.description.slice(0, 200).trim() || '',

)

However, other platforms seem to be unaffected (eg. firefox on windows)

Will be fixed in the next version!

I just want to reply on this part "However, other platforms seem to be unaffected (eg. firefox on windows)" ...

Same/similar error on:

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: Chrome 131.0.6778.205
• Web Clipper version: 0.10.5

Cheers, Marko

Just addressing the possible errors in order: Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

1. Unable to initialize page content: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'slice')
2. Unable to initialize page content: e.description is undefined
3. Unable to initialize page content: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'e.description.slice')

It is already fixed in ade476b
