Node-ytdl-core: video_id is not in response from getInfo

[cloudrac3r]

• [x] I have ytdl-core 0.29.4, the latest version published to npm
• [x] I have checked for duplicate issues

Here's the code I'm using:

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core")
ytdl.getInfo("cFJSV2dj0ps").then(info => {
    console.log(info.video_id)
})

It logs this:

undefined

In index.d.ts, the type videoInfo is supposed to have a property named video_id, but the actual response does not have this property.

I have some old code that used to use the video_id property, but this code does not work anymore because the property seems to have vanished at some point.

Could you add video_id back, please?

I can also add that there was also a property named title and now it also disappeared.

I had the same issue, but found it's nested in the object with a slightly different name: player_response.videoDetails.videoId. The title is also there too player_response.videoDetails.title

@meneses-pt — The title issue was fixed a couple of days ago. Update.

@matt2legit — thanks, I guess I'll use that for now.

yeah this. i'm going to add backwards compatibility for some properties that are no longer present in the root info object. but use info.player_response.videoDetails for more consistency in the future.
