Found a relevant bug report upstream on pytube's repo: pytube issue 1750 They propose a working solution:

In cipher.py locate:

    r'a\.[a-zA-Z]\s*&&\s*\([a-z]\s*=\s*a\.get\("n"\)\)\s*&&.*?\|\|\s*([a-z]+)',
    r'\([a-z]\s*=\s*([a-zA-Z0-9$]+)(\[\d+\])?\([a-z]\)',

And replace by:

    r'a\.[a-zA-Z]\s*&&\s*\([a-z]\s*=\s*a\.get\("n"\)\)\s*&&.*?\|\|\s*([a-z]+)',
    r'\([a-z]\s*=\s*([a-zA-Z0-9$]+)(\[\d+\])\([a-z]\)',

And they also suggest transitioning to pytubefix, although this might introduce breaking changes (I haven't read much about this one)

The good news is that I completely rewritten the code that relies on pytube and replaced it with something much more stable. The bad news is that it'll be included in 2.1, so you'll have to wait for the release. We're in the final stages of testing so it shouldn't be too far away

THANK YOU! This setup is way more stable than YTubeMusic Player was which was way better than Google's own app for Google speakers. 🤯

Is this code in any branch?

[marcelveldt]

Is this code in any branch?

It's included in the 2.1.0rc3

[OzGav]

@hundredfire please confirm this has been fixed in 2.1.0rc3

Hello! I can confirm everything works in 2.1.0rc3. Great work. Thank you very much

On a possibly unrelated note, does this new implementation as alternative of pytube uses significantly more resource? I had some issues after trying to install the beta version. HAOS became totally unresponsive on my raspberry pi 4B and I had to do a full wipe to test it on a brand new installation. I was using an old microSD card tbh, so this might be completely unrelated. (I've reinstalled on an SSD and am restoring from backups now)
