Why Piped doesn't fetch feed correctly?

[FrozenVertx]

Official Instance

• The bug is reproducible on the official hosted instance, or is API-related.

Describe the bug

It doesn't fetch feeds correctly specially latest ones, also some older feeds too. When I goto channels then it fetched correctly but not in feed page. For Example-
Test feed page -

Channel page-

I have almost 80 subscription on Newpipe and it give 16 + video for today feed whereas Piped gives 4 (it includes big channels like mkbhd) with same subscriptions. Problem happens with small channels.
I don't know how to fix it ?

To Reproduce

1. Open Piped URL
2. Goto channel (like John Hammond)
3. Subscribe
4. Go and refresh feed

Expected behavior

It should fetch every video like Newpipe

Browser, and OS with Version.

Firefox 129.0.2
LibreTube

Additional context

I tried to change instances but problem still persist.
I used fresh piped page with default settings also not logged in for test example.

I have the same issue, using the LibreTube app.

[milenakos]

Can confirm on both external frontend (piped.video), instance frontend, and LibreTube app.

Same here

same, also on Libretube
on every instance

I've noticed the same, It appears to be different for each instance, An Invidious instance issue? I've also noticed none of which show live streams anymore on my end.

Piped also doesn't show shorts anymore.

[PhilC813]

Same here. I'm using LibreTube with Kavin's official instances but I confirmed that it's the same on the instance website.

Piped also doesn't show shorts anymore.

It seems to be working only sometimes with Kavin's official instances.

Invidious has had a pull request for some time now. I am not much of a coder otherwise I would be contributing. Maybe others are willing to help solve this issue. iv-org/invidious#4906 (comment)

Just started having this issue

I am facing the same issue on my instance, which is not throttled. It looks like that, for some channels, unsubscribing and subscribing again fixes the issue. Is there a way to trigger a re-fetch of all the subscribed channels?

This happens to me on Libretube. I thought it was libretube for a long time but just thought to try piped on a PC browser and see the same. Some subscriptions load, but most don't.

It fixed itself somehow

I wrote this script to refresh all subscription content. You can paste it in the Dev-Console to run it; just make sure to insert the right API-URL in line 10 (const apiUrl = ...).

await (async function() {
    function sleep(ms) {
        return new Promise((resolve) => {
            setTimeout(resolve, ms);
        });
    }
    
    const authTokenKey = Object.keys(localStorage).find(itm => itm.startsWith("authToken"));
    const authToken = localStorage.getItem(authTokenKey);
    const apiUrl = "URL";
    
    const subs = await (await fetch(`${apiUrl}/subscriptions`, {
        headers: {
            "Authorization": authToken
        }
    })).json();
    for(let sub of subs) {
        await sleep(200);
    
        const chan = await (await fetch(`${apiUrl}${sub.url}`)).json();
        console.log(chan.name);
        
        const shortsTab = chan.tabs.find(itm => itm.name == "shorts");
        if(shortsTab == null) continue;
        const shorts = await (await fetch(`${apiUrl}/channels/tabs?data=${encodeURIComponent(shortsTab.data)}`)).json();
    }
    
    console.log("done");
})();
