Hmm this can happen when the API times out or does not return a proper response. Does it happen each scan?
Today it always shows 0 broken videos (but is not true).

So different sites then? And you didn’t answer my question. And you didn’t provide info on why ‘it is not true’…
Tested the plugin on 2 sites. The plugin shows that all videos are broken.
Hey, cereal007! I’ve experienced the same problem at the beginning of this month: I tested this plugin on 14 independent sites and the problem is the same for each of them – all inserted videos are marked as “not found”, but if i check it manually, I can see that every video works correctly.
Broken Link Checker for YouTube v1.1
Last scan run on one of the sites:
Scan started: 2020-02-26 22:17:50
Scan ended: 2020-02-26 22:17:53
Scanned 740 posts. 400 videos checked. 400 videos broken.

Hi, johnh10!
What do you think could cause an error, and how can I fix it? Your plugin is really great, it helps us maintain the availability of video content(According to statistics for the last half year we had somewhere from 5 to 20+ broken videos per month).
Waiting for an answer, thanks!
I’ve been able to test the links fine from my end (all good), so I think it is an issue where the API call failed due to a timeout or similar. That tricked the plugin into showing them as broken. Will release an update soon to ignore that circumstance.
After update to v. 1.2 everything works perfectly! Thanks!
Also updated the plugin. Everything works great.
Thank you!
