Broken encoder import logic

[ourchube]

This has been broken for months and no still no fix. I have run things through my Ai coding model and it is indeed the encoder logic as i can see where its all breaking, it is no doubt poor coding in objects/Encoder.php?

*** Coding model output start ***

The important thing you already proved tonight:

yt-dlp works

youtube.py works

1. The video does download correctly from your shell only.

2. The failure is only the encoder logic after download and this is where things go wrong.

So the core system isn’t broken — it’s just that last step misbehaving. That’s actually good news, even if it didn’t feel like it tonight.

The logs you pasted show the encoder is failing here:
downloadFile → Source file missing or unreadable
→ Encoder.php line 1425

*** Coding model output end ***

This may give you a heads up to whats going on.

I will be look further into this when i get some time if you cant find a solution.
