ValueError: We expect a numpy ndarray as input, got `<class 'NoneType'>`

Hi, I am trying an example of Youtube to text. I am getting following error.

Can you share your code? It gives this error because it is not a .mp3 file.

[kadirnar]

Can't download Youtube video. It may be related to library versions. I will test it.

There is a bug with the Pytube library. I will solve this error. https://github.com/pytube/pytube/issues/1201

[PiotrEsse]

Code is taken straight from Your example - no changes.

If I hardcode a file in audio_path = "/home/piotr/WhisperPlus/Tutorial/zycie.mp3" then its working.

[kadirnar]

This function was working for 1-2 days, but it gives an error. I can't download videos either. I don't know why. Pytube is not an up-to-date library. I started writing a different library code.

Now you can manually download the .mp3 file and test it. There is only a bug with the download function.

[kadirnar]

I rewrote this function(download_youtube_to_mp3). I tested it and it works.
