I have an interesting issue with Omni Describer. When I first tried it several months ago, it worked like a dream. Now, I cannot even get to the point where the YouTube video is downloaded. It times out. It doesn't matter which vid I try, even short ones. I've swapped out the API key, not that we're even getting to that stage. I've updated the app. It's a shame because it used to be good.

@brian_hartgen that is interesting that yours is timing out. I just tried it with the following youtube video, and mine went threw it just fine.

I have attached an mp3 file showing you that it did work for me.

@JamminJerry Now to be fair, that one did work. So I wonder what the difference is? I'll go deeper into it now I know it is capable of working.

@brian_hartgen if I am not mistaken, the gemini that is uses is 2.0 by default, and I know that one is being turned of I think in either June or Juoly, but there is suppose to be to override that to have it use a newer moddle, but not quite sure what you type in the edit field for that., but like you said, in your case it wasn't even getting to that part, so I honestly don't know.

@JamminJerry I think it must be the way I am submitting the URL. I was copying it from the address bar. But if I go to Share, and copy the URL of the video that way, it seems to work. OK Gemini blocked it, but it did at least download it.

@brian_hartgen here is the very odd thing. the way I did it when I showed you it worked is I did the same as you copying from the address bar, because in all honesty I keep forgetting about the share thing. I have just always used the address bar. in fact that is how I share youtube links on here.
