Null or zero results
When running the tool there are several fields which are either zero or NULL. Would this be a result of YouTube now running HTTPS?

it should not be an issue as the HTTPS is end-to-end, but at application layer data is decrypted
Should take a further look to understand it
@pari685 do you see this also?
@LouisPlisso Yes, I see the same thing. The factory.py file keeps truing for different video types and none of them seem to work.
What is the resolution to this problem?
I'm taking a look
the fix is in this PR: https://github.com/LouisPlisso/pytomo/pull/7 @pari685 can you take a look
the code in branch fix_null_values if working for me: @jwidhalm can you check, please? https://github.com/LouisPlisso/pytomo/tree/fix_null_values
Ok.. will check it now...

It seems to be working now. However, it still does not populate the AS number. Also, the crawl seems to stop after 10 videos.
Attached is a database and log file.

Louis, Thank you for this update. I did run some tests and see that some of the previously NULL values are now being populated. However, I still see NULL values for the following: VideoType, InitialPlaybackBuffer, and RedirectUrl. A NULL value for RedirectUrl may be expected behavior if the Url was not redirected but I will leave that assessment up to you. Also BufferingDuration and BufferingDurationAtEnd were all 0.0 values - this may be related to the IntiialPlaybackBuffer being NULL, but again I'll leave that assessment up to you. Also, I ran several crawls and noticed that each crawl stopped at 10. Thank you again for your attention to this. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to assist with this.
@jwidhalm it's expected when you have no interruptions, because you have no buffering
the stop after 10 is not expected: I'll try to reproduce
@pari685 the AS matching IPs may have to be updated, but it worked on my personal connection have you tried from UMKC or a public ISP
also it's better to create a new issue in order not to mix things up
Thanks Louis
I've created a new issue for the stop after 10: https://github.com/LouisPlisso/pytomo/issues/8
as per AS number, I've created this issue: https://github.com/LouisPlisso/pytomo/issues/9
Can you please confirm if the following formula can be used to derive the Time to start play? TimeToStartPlay(sec) = TimeTogetFirstByte + (InitialData x 8 /(InitialRate x 1000))
