404 on adaptive downloads

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting a 404 from youtube when I attempt to download adaptive streams. Progressive is fine, but those aren’t the highest quality videos. Is there a work around for this one?

from pytube import YouTube
yt_video = YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSVoVOvaew")
yt_video.streams.filter(adaptive=True).order_by('resolution').first().download()

Returns

This is still an issue, it should not be marked as stale.
