pytube: [BUG] 404 exception using pytube with Python 3.8.5

I am using the latest version pytube @ git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube@10989d2b7a5c1825958904638932c0a3d8147d71

Describe the bug I can create the YouTube object. However, when I try to access any of its properties an exception occurs.

To Reproduce This is the code that demonstrates the bug:

from pytube import YouTube yt = YouTube(‘https://youtu.be/2lAe1cqCOXo’) print(yt.title) print(yt.thumbnail_url)

Expected behavior I expect the title and thumbnail_url properties to be displayed. Instead I see an exception.

Output If pytube raises an exception, please provide the full traceback for the exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File “try_pytube.py”, line 3, in <module> print(yt.title) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/main.py”, line 366, in title self._title = self.player_response[‘videoDetails’][‘title’] File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/main.py”, line 168, in player_response if isinstance(self.player_config_args[“player_response”], str): File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/main.py”, line 188, in player_config_args self._player_config_args = self.vid_info File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/main.py”, line 291, in vid_info return dict(parse_qsl(self.vid_info_raw)) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/main.py”, line 109, in vid_info_raw self._vid_info_raw = request.get(self.vid_info_url) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/request.py”, line 53, in get response = _execute_request(url, headers=extra_headers, timeout=timeout) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pytube/request.py”, line 37, in _execute_request return urlopen(request, timeout=timeout) # nosec File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 222, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 531, in open response = meth(req, response) File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 640, in http_response response = self.parent.error( File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 569, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 502, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File “/usr/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py”, line 649, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
