can you please verify you’re on version 6.1.10? I just tested both urls and they appear to work fine:

from pytube import YouTube
yt = YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XybgKnfVCTE')
print(yt.videos)
# [<Video: MPEG-4 Visual (.3gp) - 144p - Simple>,
# <Video: MPEG-4 Visual (.3gp) - 240p - Simple>,
# <Video: H.264 (.mp4) - 360p - Baseline>,
# <Video: H.264 (.mp4) - 720p - High>,
# <Video: VP8 (.webm) - 360p - N/A>]
yt = YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBmPu9Y13NE')
print(yt.videos)
# [<Video: MPEG-4 Visual (.3gp) - 144p - Simple>,
# <Video: MPEG-4 Visual (.3gp) - 240p - Simple>,
# <Video: H.264 (.mp4) - 360p - Baseline>,
# <Video: VP8 (.webm) - 360p - N/A>]
print(pytube.__version__)
# '6.1.10'
