If VidScore shows a message instead of scoring a video, the video falls into a content type that VidScore does not support. Here are the reasons and what each message means.
Music videos - "VidScore doesn't rate music videos." VidScore does not support music videos or audio-only music. Live performances and other performance content may still be supported.
Movies and TV shows - "VidScore doesn't rate movies or TV shows." VidScore is designed for creator-produced content, not professionally produced licensed content.
Content made for kids - "VidScore doesn't rate content made for kids." Videos designated as "Made for Kids" on YouTube are filtered for safety and compliance.
YouTube Shorts - "VidScore doesn't rate Shorts." YouTube Shorts are not supported.
Live streams in progress - "VidScore doesn't rate live streams in progress." Active or upcoming live streams can't be analyzed until the stream ends. Once a live stream ends and becomes a VOD replay, VidScore can score it normally.
