Parsing Manifest Error? Fix Link Extraction Failure (2026)
Fastest Method (Quick Guide)
Wait 30 seconds and re-paste the link (forces an API refresh)
Remove any 'Tracking Parameters' from the URL (everything after the '?')
Ensure the video is public and viewable by everyone
Switch between 'Desktop' and 'Mobile' links
The 'URL Cleaning' Trick
Social media apps add 'Tracking Data' to links (e.g., ?utm_source=copy_link). These extra characters can confuse even the best parsers. Try deleting everything in the URL starting from the question mark (?) and pasting the 'Clean' link. This often resolves the parsing error instantly.
HLS and DASH streams
In 2026, most video is served as 'HLS' (Apple) or 'DASH' (Google). These aren't single files, but thousands of small 2-second clips. If our master parser can't find the 'Index' file for these segments, it will fail. A simple page refresh usually triggers a 'Deep Scan' that finds the missing index.
