pytube: RegexMatchError: (\W[\'"]?t[\'"]?: ?[\'"](.+?)[\'"]) had zero matches

It looks like comment out the related part in codes as a temploary solution works for me. # I'm not entirely sure whattrepresents. Looks to represent a # boolean. # t = regex_search( # r'\W[\'"]?t[\'"]?: ?[\'"](.+?)[\'"]', watch_html, # group=0, # ) params = OrderedDict([ ('video_id', video_id), ('el', '$el'), ('ps', 'default'), ('eurl', quote(watch_url)), ('hl', 'en_US'), # ('t', quote(t)), ])

Hi, Can you please elaborate on that? Thanks~

Go to extract.py line 116 and change the following to look like:

    else:
        # I'm not entirely sure what ``t`` represents. Looks to represent a
        # boolean.
        #t = regex_search(
        #    r'\W[\'"]?t[\'"]?: ?[\'"](.+?)[\'"]', watch_html,
        #    group=0,
        #)
        params = OrderedDict([
            ('video_id', video_id),
            ('el', '$el'),
            ('ps', 'default'),
            ('eurl', quote(watch_url)),
            ('hl', 'en_US'),
            #('t', quote(t)),
        ])

Notice that we’re just commenting out the stuff related to t. I don’t know why this works, and I’m guessing there are other bad side-effects, but it got me through my needs for the day.

All fixed, fixed rating + views as well

It is worked, but waiting for official fix

for me it was not that obvious, so I let it here just in case…

It’s already merged in master, so pip install -U pytube to get the corrected version (9.5.0)

Thank you!

yay nick!

Hi folks, sorry for not being responsive here, I have become incredibly busy in recent months and haven’t been able to support the project as much as I would like. Let me look into this now. I’ll post an update for everyone shortly.

This solution is worked for some videos, others are not. Waiting for official fix.

Same issue here. Python 3.7.2 @nficano can we get a pip upgrade pushed for this until the root cause is identified and corrected?
