Actor isn't fetching videos and seems to be getting redirected to about page
Open
The actor in the example run doesn't seem to be pulling in any videos. On top of that the URL seems to have /about added to it. Is there an input problem in that example or something else?
I had a run with more accounts and the URL across all of the is ending in /about

Hi! This is because in your input all the limits are 0 - you should set them to a positive number to collect some videos (and make sure to set them, otherwise they are default-initialized to 0).
The /about part is because we handle all channel urls by scraping their /about page first, so this is the URL you get the channel information from. If you need to map to the channel in your input you can use inputChannelUrl/input output fields.
Let me know if this helps!

Got it thank you! That seems to work. One thing that seems to persist but isn't much of an issue for us right now is that the duration isn't always present.

Thanks for letting us know, I can see we don't get it for shorts. We'll try to return it and let you know when it's done
