Question

I am currently using pytube to get decipher signature from my project as below:

from pytube import cipher
html="base.js CONTENT HERE" 
unsig= 'ALgxI2wwRgIhAN3cG9UXPZSyZcwx2fTOFvbKT_5CAb475HUHuTjSjOw-AiEAjaY1JtcKuHMQkHyCt5cKGBqazj7mpR4EQ1nwGYvhkEc=' 
signature = cipher.get_signature(html, unsig)
print signature

But that project is not updated regularly and would like to use youtube-dl for same. Is this possible, if yes pls. provide pointers for same.

youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py

Lines 2005 to 2006 in 695720e

	signature = self._decrypt_signature(
	encrypted_sig, video_id, player_url, age_gate)

Sorry for the noob query but I tried a lot but was not able to figure out a way to import this function my script :(

Asked for help at stack and from the reply it seems it cant be done with current ytdl exposed methods !! Pls. check - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56734345/correct-way-to-call-function-from-imported-python-package/56734930#56734930

You were trying to call it static. Don't do that, it won't work. Initialize a new instance and then call _decrypt_signature(), it's not hard at all.

Isn't this the correct usage?

from youtube_dl.extractor.youtube import YoutubeIE

import youtube_dl.extractor.youtube as yt
help(yt)

yt=YoutubeIE()

video_id = 'HRfNqYoO9EU'
player_url="https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player_ias-vfl49f_g4/en_US/base.js" 
unsig= 'ALgxI2wwRgIhAN3cG9UXPZSyZcwx2fTOFvbKT_5CAb475HUHuTjSjOw-AiEAjaY1JtcKuHMQkHyCt5cKGBqazj7mpR4EQ1nwGYvhkEc=' 

signature = yt._decrypt_signature(unsig, video_id, player_url)
print(signature)
