    YouTube Browser/Search behavior/ SLOW analyzing

    Searching for videos on YT are more successful using Firefox than using SF's YT module. Remember though that if you copy paste from a browser to SF that you do NOT use the clipboard monitoring function of SF, because that method does not give you all available download options that the YT module would if you were browsing and clicking withing.

    Observation though, no matter how you get to where the video is that you want, SF seems to take quite a bit of time to download and analyze the metadata. (More than twice as long as when using the alternate I use when SF frequently stops working on YT)

    Using 6229 in this example.
    Both my Firefox browser and SF are logged in to YT.
    Search within the SF browser's YT module for Haddaway - You Gave Me Love
    First hit is an unrelated sponsored post, 2nd result is the video, but from an account named Marcyjok and might be the right video, maybe not? just not the official source, third result is of an audio stream only, fourth result is also an audio only, fifth result is the song from the official Haddawaymusic account, but the video is only 30 seconds long! After 7 or 8 results, it goes to other Haddaway songs. So where is the official release of the video? Nowhere to be found on the results page.

    Now, searching within Firefox, first result is exactly what I want, haddaway "what is love" follow up "you gave me love" from the haddawaymusic account.​

    So... I could take a chance on getting the video from the unofficial source, Marcyjok account, or I could copy past the URL from Firefox to SF's actual YT module (NOT the clipboard monitoring function). Than analyze from there.

    Any thoughts about what's going on here as to why the results do not come up in the SF YT browser?
    Any why does it take significantly longer to analyze the video?

    I don't know the YT search algorithm ..
    .. but I get the same 1st match in SF (or Chrome) and Firefox:

      YouTube has the worst search.

      Anyway, I found a video that only takes 2 to 3 seconds to analyze. So maybe it's the wrong video. I tried the one that comes up as 3:36
      I don't feel like SF should need to analyze much at all for standard YouTube videos, and most other YouTube downloaders don't, but that's the way it is.
      The problem with most, not all, other YouTube downloaders is that you end up having to copy/paste the link from the browser to the downloader.

      I note, too, that my browser has an ad blocker, and I get some different results (fewer or none sponsored) than the SF browser.
      Plain and simple: just use streamfab for Windows offline installer, which is always available at
      https://www.dvdfab.cn/mlink/download.php?g=StreamFab_x64

      Disclaimer: VPN use is NOT a StreamFab issue.
