I get the error "Cannot acquire lock for source youtube" when trying to import a youtube feed. I've used http for a feed that needs to be https, not sure if that could be the source of the error? How then would I get around this, since now I can't import anything. Even tried cloning the feed importer, but same issue with the new feed importer.

And yes, it does not work to Unlock in the unlock tab: "This importer is not locked, therefore it cannot be unlocked."

Can you tell me what's in your semaphore table?

In semaphore table I can see a row saying feeds_source_youtube_0. If I delete it and run the import again I still receive the same error and another row is created in the semaphore table.

That is tricky indeed.

Can you give me an export of your feed configuration?

Sent you feed importer through Drupal message.

This just came up again. I thought the pattern we found with YouTube the need to use https in both the Feed URL and when manually triggering the import from /import, was documented somewhere, but the only reference I'm finding is a line in https://drupal.org/node/1556246

When you import, make sure to use https:// in the beginning of the URL, like https://yourdomain.com/import
