Bug Description
When extracting a YouTube transcript, the first attempt sometimes returns only the video metadata, such as title, channel, and URL, with no transcript body. Retrying immediately afterward can return the full transcript.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a YouTube video that has a transcript available.
- Run ExtractMD transcript extraction.
- Observe that the first extraction may return only metadata with no transcript content.
- Run the extraction again on the same page.
- Observe that the retry may return the full transcript.
Expected Behavior
The first successful extraction should include the transcript content once the page is ready.
Actual Behavior
The first extraction sometimes captures only metadata and omits the transcript text, even though a retry on the same page can succeed.
Page URL
A YouTube watch page with transcript support.
Console Errors
Not captured yet.
Screenshots
None yet.
Additional Context
This may indicate that YouTube loads transcript content asynchronously in a later phase than basic page metadata, and the extractor can run before the transcript text is fully available. The issue description is intentionally generalized and does not include transcript content from any specific video.
