pytube.exceptions.RegexMatchError: regex pattern ("signature",\s?([a-zA-Z0-9$]+)\() had zero matches
I tried both on windows and ubuntu on different machines and this seems to be happening on most of the videos I try to download, e.g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFZP8zQ5kzk).
Any ideas what could be causing this?
EDIT: I just saw https://github.com/nficano/pytube/pull/313, which is already merged. Maybe youtube changed it’s signature again?
