Thank you.

can anyone explain this ? found this issue opened last year... but I don't understand how it is possible that even if this was not fixed (this pull was never merged... why ?), I was able to download videos till yesterday and now this fix is needed

I just applied this patch for Pytube 15.0.0 and seems it is working fine.
Thank you for making it!

Yeah I don't get it either...

Working for me! Thanks @garywu007

I've made similar changes to my cipher.py and main.py files, yet the issue persists. Does anyone know why that might be?

RegexMatchError: init: could not find match for ^\w+\W

it's working for me, can you write here a reproducible example ?

[lolzhunter]

am only able to get a 720p stream at 30fps with this test video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEk59PKyDwg
not sure why the 1080p 60fps is not available, separate problem maybe? not sure

Here's a code snippet that triggers the same error:

from pytube import YouTube
url = "https://youtu.be/9DB68OVD50A/"
yt = YouTube(url)
files = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True)

RegexMatchError: init: could not find match for ^\w+\W

I would expect the error message to show the expression from the revised cipher.py file (r"^$*\w+\W"). Does that give any clues as to why I'm getting this error?

I don't know exactly what you want to do with files after but this if you run this code alone with the updated main.py and cipher.py, no errors are thrown.

I tested this:

from pytube import YouTube
import os

url = "https://youtu.be/9DB68OVD50A/"
yt = YouTube(url)
files = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
out_file = files.download()

os.rename(out_file, "someName.mp3")

Mind sharing what files you changed and what you changed them to?

[glubsy]

Not tested but looks good to me.

The cipher change should probably be part of another PR, but it's OK.

I didn't make it that far :/ That line (files = yt.streams...) throws an error for me. Any ideas on what could be causing it? I uninstalled the normal package and installed garywu007's updated version, so it's not a simple typing error.

Edit: no changes to the file are reflected when my code runs, even if I empty cipher.py.
Edit: I neglected to restart the jupyter kernel. Thanks for the help, guys!

so does it work now ? remember that whenever you change any module in a library then you gotta shut down your program and run it again, the same applies to jupyter notebooks

if you are having troubles patching your code, I made a tutorial, just go to section at 02:57... hope this helps

Did not catch that in my previous comment, but this does not looks like it would work as intended

[glubsy]

I am skeptical about this part.
Returning an empty list is not what this method is expected to do. It will crash as soon as self.transform_plan[0] is called in the Cipher constructor

[fabcotech]

Patch works for me as well thanks, I don't understand what's going on with this repo, is the maintainer dead ? (no joke), no release since 2021. Someone forks ??

[Genza999]

Can anyone help with how this patch can be manually made from within docker? It'll be much appreciated

hi there, I have made a tutorial on how to patch pytube... first way is to patch from your running container exactly like in the video, second option is to write the set of commands you would type manually in your docker file and it should work
