Not sure what it is, but its been driving me nuts and im such a newbie I tried so many things but im not sure what it means, ive tried installing and reinstalling pytube but nothing changed.

Here's my code

from pytube import YouTube

link = input("Enter in a link: ")

video = YouTube(link)

print(video.title)

print(video.streams.filter(progressive=True))

stream = video.streams.get_by_itag(22)
stream.download()
print("Video downloaded")

The entire error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  - File "c:\PytubeDownloader\YoutubeDownloader2.py", line 5, in <module>
    video = YouTube(link)
  - File "C:\Python\lib\site-packages\pytube\__main__.py", line 91, in __init__

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone

Ok so I did what was recommended in Pytube: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone and now im getting a completely different error

    YouTube sometimes changes HTML content and then modules like `pytube` may need also changes to work with new HTML - and sometimes it needs to wait for new version with updates. – furas Jan 21 '22 at 08:09

Experienced same error. In cipher.py replace the regexs in pattern in get_initial_function_name with: r'\bc\s*&&\s*d\.set\([^,]+\s*,\s*\([^)]*\)\s*\(\s*(?P<sig>[a-zA-Z0-9$]+)\('.
