Having the same issue. v2 is broken and so is v3 now

As to the 'assets' error. ITs a pytube3 problem and there really isn't a fix from our side. Please see this. It would also help fi you searched existing issues before opening new ones.

I'm assuming that your using v3. v3 passes the search query to spotify and not youtube. Spotify can't/won't match 'lyrics' and hence returns no results. Try running spotdl "Alan Walker Spectre" instead

UPDATE
I checked, your using v2. We aren't fixing v2. v3 has problems due to a new pytube update. It'll take a week to fix. See #930
