Code

def download():

    res = var.get()

    if len(url) < 1:
        messagebox.showerror("Error", "URL cannot be Empty")
 
    yt = YouTube(url)
    try:
        if var.get() == 0:
             reso_select = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
        elif var.get() == 1:
            reso_select = yt.streams.get_lowest_resolution()
        elif var.get() == 2:
            reso_select = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
        else:
            reso_select = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
        try:
            reso_select.download(path1)
            messagebox.showinfo("Sucess", "Video Downloaded!")
        except:
            messagebox.showerror("Error", "Download Failed")
    except:
        messagebox.showerror("Error","Please try again")

Maybe there is error at line yt = YouTube(url)

"HTTP Error 410: Gone" means that that resource has been deleted from their server. Unless they're sending this to mess with scrapers, this means that this isn't a problem with your code. You're attempting to get a video that doesn't exist anymore. — Carcigenicate, Aug 08 '21 at 15:44
Also this isn't a `RuntimeError`. It's a `urllib.error.HTTPError`. So please remove the `runtime-error` tag on the question. — TheLizzard, Aug 08 '21 at 15:45
And also, don't use `except:`. That doesn't appear to be your problem right now, but bare `except` cases like that will bite you at some point. Always specify the exception to want to catch. — Carcigenicate, Aug 08 '21 at 15:45
@Carcigenicate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lynx3vZz5Ao&t=1s checkout video is there can you please use the GitHub link and use the code to download anyting from YT — Sumant Dusane, Aug 08 '21 at 16:48
The code works fine with the youtube link using pytube 11.0.0 and Python 3.8.10. — acw1668, Aug 10 '21 at 05:07
Yes I have tried your code with pytube 11.0.0 and Python 3.8.10 as I said in my past comment. — acw1668, Aug 12 '21 at 04:22

This is a bug with pytube, it has happened previously and got fixed but looks like it may have been reintroduced.You could always look into another library e.g. youtube_dl or ytpy
