The tool is working fine, if you use a linux distribution and the right chrome version. (And paid proxies. lol.)

@SecHex I am on Linux and have the latest Chrome version installed:

$ /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --version
Google Chrome 118.0.5993.70 

But, I get the following when I try to run it:

$ python youtube_viewer.py

Any idea what might be wrong? Which version of chrome do I need?

I'd appreciate your response.

OK, I've figured it how to bypass that error. It seems the script downloads Chrome Driver from this URL and the latest version is 114.0.5735.90, so I created a Gentoo ebuild for that version of Chrome and now it runs. However, it did not add any view count. I am not yet sure which version works and does not get detected by YouTube.

Thank you for the link, I've downgraded to v90.0.4430.72, and still not working despite the fact that the script claims "View added: 3". The view count on YouTube won't bump.
