pytubex's Issues

Getting title not correct.

Original Video Address

As you can see the whole title is Ailemize Hoş Geldin Mbwana Samatta! but the saved title or getting title is not same as the original.

Am I wrong or bug of the package?

pytube.YouTube(...) title attribute has missing charecters

Whenever I try to get a video with pytube.YouTube() the title attribute always has missing characters in the beginning

I've tried

• pytube.YouTube().title
• pytube.YouTube().streams[0].title
• pytube.YouTube().streams[0].default_file
  but none of them worked, there always is a missing chunk in the beginning of title

There are the following value error issues.
pytube3 seems to have no more updates, so I came to pytubeX.
Please tell me how to solve the above error.

Playlist(<url>).video_urls returns empty list

This seems to have been fixed already on the main pytube repo, but pytubeX still has this error.

I would like to know what we can expect as to bug fixes.

I'm the active maintainer and dev on spotify-downloader, we plan to make a shift to pytubeX from pytube3. Assuming we have bugs, how fast can we expect fixes and patches?

Original project is seeking maintainers

FYI, the original creator of this project, Nick Ficano, is no longer maintaining it. I don't know who the new maintainer is, but there is information on this in the README of pytube:

HTTP Error 410

I'm using urllib3 and I get this error:

yt = YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXP2sgsfEPk")

Here's the error log:

404 on download

I'm getting a 404 from youtube when I attempt to download adaptive streams. Progressive is fine, but those aren't the highest quality videos. Is there a work around for this one?

from pytube import YouTube
yt_video = YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSVoVOvaew")
yt_video.streams.filter(adaptive=True).order_by('resolution').first().download()

New youtube update raises RegEx error

RegexMatchError: get_ytplayer_config: could not find match for config_patterns
Anyone know any fixes? I'm not great with javascript or regex, though I could probably figure it out if I needed to.

Playlist is empty

Version: pytubeX==0.1.2
Code:

In [1]: from pytube import Playlist

In [2]: playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL326E728CF5AA4CBF')

In [3]: playlist.video_urls
Out[3]: []

I'm not sure if this is related to this issue.

PyTube Broken (Cipher Regex)

Looks like youtube made an update to the javascript section. It seems that the regex for get_transform_plan in cipher.py is broken. This is the actual error. This wasn't like this yesterday and seemed to have started sometime today

  File "C:\Workspace\Python\01_Projects\02_MaxIt\venv\lib\site-packages\pytube\cipher.py", line 31, in __init__
    var, _ = self.transform_plan[0].split(".")
