Compatibility with new Youtube URL handlers (youtube.com/NICECHANNEL) #1425

Open NannoSilver opened 1 year ago

NannoSilver commented 1 year ago

Weeks ago Youtube released a new type of URL handler that allows a shorter URL.

Here are some examples of new URL handlers: https://youtube.com/@TrinityVaastu https://www.youtube.com/xenutv

At Pytube 12.1.0, if I use the following code, it is NOT capable to work with the handler:

c = Channel('https://www.youtube.com/xenutv')
youtube_channel_name = c.channel_name

I would like to suggest to make Pytube compatible with the new URL handlers.

I came here to report the same bug, I thought I did something wrong but after testing I found that it was a compatibility issue with the new URLs.
