Go to the location where the package was installed. If you don't know where, run the command
pip show pytube3
And it'll give you something like this:
We can seeLocation: c:\python36-64\lib\site-packages -
Go to that location, open the folder pytube and the file extract.py
-
In the file, line no. 306 or 301, you will find
parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]). If yes, then change"cipher"to"signatureCipher"
So, you'll initially have
cipher_url = [
parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
]
but it should be
cipher_url = [
parse_qs(formats[i]["signatureCipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
]
