Sorry for the late report this month. The encoding server is currently down and needs repair so no uploads is currently happening. Not sure what is wrong but I suspect the power supply is not working. I will try repair it or setup a new node if this one has given up. Might start looking into some redundancy to avoid this in the future.

Time for a new report! I have up till this point put the report together manually and as you know I love automation so now even this content is created by a python script using the YouTube analytics API. Report may look a bit different than before as the same data is not available (such as unique viewers) but I have added some other interesting data to compensate for that and I can now create this reports on any arbitrary time period if anyone is interested. Note that long recordings separated into multiple videos are now reported as one entry to show the total view time for that particular recording.
