could not find match for ^\w+\W

Same issue here too.

[zaintechsavvy]

Hmm, I'm not very sure this would work but what if you download the background video manually, to go "background.py" and add the path to "assets/mp4/background.mp4" and add the video in that path.

I think I've solved it, I went to the cipher.py file and changed var_regex = re.compile(r"^\w+\W") to var_regex = re.compile(r"^$*\w+\W"). there's nothing wrong in doing that, right?

[zaintechsavvy]

I don't think that should be a problem. Give it a go and let me know, thanks! Most likely I think that should work.

[zaintechsavvy]

Can you provide me the path to "cipher.py"? I don't seem to have it.

cipher.py isn't a thing....?

it's in the library. Follow the on-screen console and if you see /libs/ or something like that, copy the rest of the location

re.compile(r"^$*\w+\W") doesn't work. Further researching, the regex: ^\$*\w+\W works

it's been reference in pytube's issue #1199
Edit: The developer needs to update the package. I am pretty sure it was fixed in the newer version

[zaintechsavvy]

hmm, not sure I understand too much. Where do I get to get /libs/ ?

[zaintechsavvy]

Thanks!

[Wavey-web]

Thanks!

No problem! When you change the regex it should work.

[zaintechsavvy]

I'm in cipher.py right now. What line is to change the regex?

Ctrl+f var_regex = re.compile

[reinkdesigns]

tried this now im getting an error

re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

I think You forget a \ in re.compile(r"^$*\w+\W")

[reinkdesigns]

i think i fixed it, i removed the r and the "" and it worked

[Skogowo]

did this, getting 'prawcore.exceptions.OAuthException: unauthorized_client error processing request (Only script apps may use password auth)'

[Skogowo]

oo, got it to say 'prawcore.exceptions.OAuthException: invalid_grant error processing request' instead
