[Rolution] Revised file: youtube_dl\extractor\pornhub.py Replace old code with:

        #     video_variables[video_variablename] = video_variable
        #
        # video_urls = []
        # for encoded_video_url in re.findall(

        #         encoded_video_url = encoded_video_url.replace(varname, varval)
        #     video_urls.append(re.sub(r'[\s+]', '', encoded_video_url))
