I wouldn't call it "very often". As I have some experience in the area I'll say few words. For nearly a year Linterna Mágica needed around 4-5 major fixes for bugs in YouTube. These prevented the extraction and playback of clips at all. Other fixes, including different pages, were for minor inconveniences, which were mainly caused by site style changes - part of the interface was unreachable or hidden; displaced buttons, headers, video etc. I'm using a regular expression approach and site specific stuff is as limited as possible, so often small changes in pages do not affect Linterna Mágica. There were only few working/supported websites that needed special attention where playback and extraction broke entirely. I'm not sure for myself if changes in websites are often or not, having an observation over many pages. Maybe I'm just slightly in favor of "not often".
