pytube: [BUG] 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

I think the javascipt changed. If you search for Bpa, you don’t find a function. Instead you get

var Bpa=[iha];g.k=Jz.prototype;g.k.GC=function(a){this.segments.push(a)};

Thus Bpa is an array with the function “iha” in location zero . If you use iha for the name, you get a function. I kludged line 293 of cipher.py to go from

name = re.escape(get_throttling_function_name(js))

to

name = "iha"

And I now its working.

I’m not sure how to correctly change the code yet, but if I figure out a proper patch I’ll post it.

Dear @mahdizarepro in the get_throttling_function_code function in the cipher.py file I have changed name =“iha” to name = “jha” and now it works for me… Until the next change ‘kha’ 😃 do not hesitate to use my repo :

pip install git+https://github.com/rmerzouki/pytube

Mine worked with this, working today fine

pip uninstall pytube pip install git+https://github.com/glubsy/pytube@nfunc_regex_patch

name="iha" fix did not work for me either. Looks like something might have changed in the past few hours.

None of the fix here are working for me, I’m out of solution right now

And you will bang your head again as soon as the javascript gets recompiled. Better use this branch instead https://github.com/glubsy/pytube/tree/nfunc_regex_patch

replacing ‘iha’ for ‘jha’ have worked for me too

                    array = [x.strip() for x in array]
                    return array[int(idx)]

Thanks, helped me fix the error! Hopes that it will last.

is there any soln other than this (name = “iha” fix has stopped working)

name = “iha” fix has stopped working since today morning (03 JAN 11:05 IST). Worked fine till yesterday

“iha” fix didn’t work for me either 😦

Keeping an eye on this, hopefully it gets figured out soon.

I created a fork with the earlier proposed solution if anyone need it. https://github.com/oleksandr-shvab/pytube

the regex search is failing, maybe youtube has changed the javascript.

Yes, the regex is searching for a throttling function Bpa\[0\]=function\(\w\) but new function looks like this &&(b=Bpa[0](b),a.set("n",b),Bpa.length||iha(""))}};

@glubsy no doubt, here we got full of immature programmers who claims to be superb😂

Just did a fresh pip, pytube, pydub reinstall and this issue has gone away.

@rishabh3354 this has nothing to do with this issue.

@glubsy no doubt, here we got full of immature programmers who claims to be superb😂

the specific itag you are trying to use has no filesize value, therefore you are getting KeyError: ‘content-length’.

i suppose, this will get the job done

video.streams.filter(progressive=True).order_by('resolution').asc()

and please be respectful to others,

@rishabh3354 it works. Show us the error you get? I’m not getting any error.

Still doesn’t work 😕

Dear @quantum-hash use this branch https://github.com/glubsy/pytube/tree/nfunc_regex_patch or do this

pip install git+https://github.com/rmerzouki/pytube

It’s not working for me neither. I tried suggested solutions here and non of them worked

Solutions tried:

1. name = “iha”
2. glubsy fix: https://github.com/glubsy/pytube/commit/bcae434d1da32538ec7b21d11e271e86d9fafdd1

is pytube is working for anyone, Please share pytube patched branch so that we will be able to install through pip

Latest error is in cypher.py not parser.py

Hey @rishabh3354 please don’t be rude to other members of the repo - there is a ban functionality.

@eliorc Hey want to confirm the question – is the fix working but not released in PyPI?

this is not fixed, dont close it bro… dont make us fool. lol

you have proved yourself, i am not expecting answers from you btw

Mine worked with this, working today fine pip uninstall pytube pip install git+https://github.com/glubsy/pytube@nfunc_regex_patch

Thanks it also works for me

This fix is not working for this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twtGL8WbllM

Dear @mahdizarepro in the get_throttling_function_code function in the cipher.py file I have changed name =“iha” to name = “jha” and now it works for me… Until the next change ‘kha’ 😃 do not hesitate to use my repo :

pip install git+https://github.com/rmerzouki/pytube

Thanks, it works

thanks! I spent a morning banging my head with this problem

If you people cared to look around before whining like blind moles, you would have noticed there is a pending pull request with the fix to this problem at https://github.com/pytube/pytube/pull/1222

The error only happens in me every time I do “YouTube(url).streams” while “YouTube(url).streaming_data” can return object

name = “iha” seemed to be working fine at the time of previous issue, however, I think now we have got new one.

@rishabh3354 try this :

pip install git+https://github.com/rmerzouki/pytube

I created a fork with the earlier proposed solution if anyone need it. https://github.com/oleksandr-shvab/pytube

Not working

ERROR: Cannot unpack file /tmp/pip-unpack-oah_1k8u/pytube (downloaded from /tmp/pip-req-build-apkmcmlb, content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8); cannot detect archive format ERROR: Cannot determine archive format of /tmp/pip-req-build-apkmcmlb

Strange. It’s working for me. I used command pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/oleksandr-shvab/pytube#egg=pytube and then rebuild the container.
