[BUG] 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span' #1218

hunterhawley · 2022-02-01T02:07:16Z

Before creating an issue

Please confirm that you are on the latest version of pytube by installing from the source.
You can do this by running python -m pip install git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube.
Sometimes, the pypi library repository is not up to date, and your issue may have been fixed already!

Describe the bug
I have been running PyTube at different points today with success and fast downloads, but as of about 30 minutes ago I started to get this when I would run it:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

To Reproduce
I have tried on these two links, both of which were working earlier today:
-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twtGL8WbllM&ab_channel=HarritonRams
-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_3LkF_Cdo&ab_channel=IndianaSRN

Here is the code sample where it is being used:

def download_youtube_video(row, game_id): filename = game_id + ".mp4" try: YouTube(row[0]).streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first().download(filename=filename) upload_successful = True except Exception as e: print(e) print("HEY, LOOK HERE") print("I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS, SADLY") print("YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD THIS ONE MANUALLY") print(row[0]) print(game_id) print("I TRIED TWO DIFFERENT YOUTUBE DOWNLOADER PACKAGES, BLAME THOSE F**** OVER AT GOOGLE FOR THIS")

Expected behavior
I expected the video to be downloaded in the same directory as my python script as it was earlier today.

Output
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 3, in <module> YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_3LkF_Cdo&ab_channel=IndianaSRN").streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first().download(filename="hello.mp4") File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 292, in streams return StreamQuery(self.fmt_streams) File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 177, in fmt_streams extract.apply_signature(stream_manifest, self.vid_info, self.js) File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/extract.py", line 409, in apply_signature cipher = Cipher(js=js) File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py", line 43, in __init__ self.throttling_plan = get_throttling_plan(js) File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py", line 387, in get_throttling_plan raw_code = get_throttling_function_code(js) File "/Users/hunterhawley/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py", line 301, in get_throttling_function_code code_lines_list = find_object_from_startpoint(js, match.span()[1]).split('\n') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

System information
Please provide the following information:

Python version: Python 3.7.1rc1
Pytube version: Unsure as the provided way to find this didn't work
Command used to install pytube: First was python -m pip install pytube but before posting it was python -m pip install git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube

I'm not sure why all of my code is formatted so badly but happy to make edits if I can figure out how to fix it

AndyPythonCode · 2022-02-01T02:11:36Z

Same error

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

UnknownCrafts · 2022-02-01T02:49:51Z

There are pull requests that fix this issue but idk why they are not merged yet.

There are pull requests that fix this issue but idk why they are not merged yet.

I've tried manually applying the fix suggested in the original bug filing, but the issue is persisting. I'm not sure if the issue occurring today is related to the earlier issue that PRs have been created for.

benbaker76 · 2022-02-01T04:59:26Z

Latest error is in cypher.py not parser.py

HarrisDePerceptron · 2022-02-01T05:17:29Z

@headkaze yes. error in cypher.py . tryed using
pip install git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube
and
pip install git+https://github.com/mytja/pytube

ghost · 2022-02-01T05:18:27Z

Latest error is in cypher.py not parser.py

the regex search is failing, maybe youtube has changed the javascript.

benbaker76 · 2022-02-01T05:25:19Z

the regex search is failing, maybe youtube has changed the javascript.

Yes, the regex is searching for a throttling function Bpa\[0\]=function\(\w\) but new function looks like this &&(b=Bpa[0](b),a.set("n",b),Bpa.length||iha(""))}};

czarnoff · 2022-02-01T05:48:48Z

I think the javascipt changed. If you search for Bpa, you don't find a function. Instead you get

var Bpa=[iha];g.k=Jz.prototype;g.k.GC=function(a){this.segments.push(a)};

Thus Bpa is an array with the function "iha" in location zero . If you use iha for the name, you get a function. I kludged line 293 of cipher.py to go from

name = re.escape(get_throttling_function_name(js))

to

name = "iha"

And I now its working.

I'm not sure how to correctly change the code yet, but if I figure out a proper patch I'll post it.

the specific itag you are trying to use has no filesize value, therefore you are getting KeyError: 'content-length'.

i suppose, this will get the job done

video.streams.filter(progressive=True).order_by('resolution').asc()

and please be respectful to others,

you have proved yourself, i am not expecting answers from you btw

* Fix regex to find throttle function name The javascript now stores the throttling function name in an array. Fix #1218 * Fix array parsing Strip whitespaces around symbol names for future-proofing. The variable name might be "b" right now, but it could change in the future.

rishabh3354 · 2022-02-13T20:06:21Z

this is not fixed, dont close it bro.. dont make us fool. lol

Any expectation on when we are going to see this released in PyPI?

RONNCC · 2022-02-14T18:46:56Z

Hey @rishabh3354 please don't be rude to other members of the repo - there is a ban functionality.

@eliorc Hey want to confirm the question -- is the fix working but not released in PyPI?

eliorc · 2022-02-14T19:25:30Z

Yes @RONNCC , I've installed from the latest on master and it works fine for me

RONNCC · 2022-02-14T20:40:15Z

@eliorc thanks for update -- just released on PyPi

MtnDewBoi · 2022-02-15T00:09:18Z

The
name = "iha"
fix isn't working for me, have there been any other methods?

Yes, I have tried a fresh pip install of the release from a few hours ago.

vcpavao · 2022-02-15T02:09:41Z

Just did a fresh pip, pytube, pydub reinstall and this issue has gone away.

VLomonovskis · 2022-02-17T14:13:21Z

var Bpa=[iha];g.k=Jz.prototype;g.k.GC=function(a){this.segments.push(a)};

Thank you! It did help, especially explanation. Name "iha" did not work for me, but "yha" worked well. I believe it is case by case (that why originally it was determined by function). So, just print "js" variable to see its content before name and search for "Spa" in the text, you will find name of function you need. In my case it was "Spa=[yha]". Then, just set "name" variable to this value, in my case "name = 'yha'".
Idealy, we need to fix "get_throttling_function_name" so it will find correct function name.

RONNCC · 2022-02-26T20:12:39Z

@VLomonovskis could you submit a patch :-)

el07694 · 2022-03-16T19:02:56Z

Thanks, helped me fix the error!
Hopes that it will last.

Thanks!

Hello guys!
I am still having problems with:

Exception has occurred: AttributeError (note: full exception trace is shown but execution is paused at: load)
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

I tried everything you mentioned here but nothing seems to work for me.

My code worked perfectly a few months ago, but now I am getting an error
Here is my code:
https://github.com/ShifterinoSama/YoutubeDownloader-Converter/blob/main/downloader_en.pyw

The error appears on lines 73, 78, 81

Does anyone know how to fix this?

PS: Sorry for my bad English and bad coding, I am a self-learner.

pip 22.0.4
pytube 12.0.0

hey @shameerariff -- would you mind submitting a patch to fix the above ;)
