Description

pornhub changed their UI of playing page, youtube-dl fails to extract uploader and view count.
i made my own patch to get the uploader, but unfortunately my code cannot be merged into ytdl directly:

class PornHubIE(youtube_dl.extractor.pornhub.PornHubIE, metaclass=ABCMeta):
    def _real_extract(self, url):
        data = super()._real_extract(url)
        try:
            html = get_html_element_tree(url)
            uploader = html.xpath('//div[@class="userInfo"]//a')[0].text
            data['uploader'] = uploader
            # print('#', 'uploader:', uploader)
        except IndexError:
            pass
        return data

a simple xpath('//div[@class="userInfo"]//a')[0] can get the uploader.
as for view count, i don't need it so i didn't dig for it.

I can confirm that I too am experiencing this issue with broken username and view count extraction with youtube-dl version 2020.09.14.

I believe that op is correct in saying that the new layout of the page broke the extractor but I cannot comment on his solution since that is outside my area of expertise.

In this case, the url being downloaded is: https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5f42caa7048b4

Please refer to the verbose output of as requested, hope that that completes this issue submission.
