Link in question (I tried a few other ones as well). Also tested link works by pasting it from the terminal output into the browser. Using the -v doesn't provide any more useful info.

I'm running using wsl and pretty sure it's not a network issue.

This isn't much to go off of unfortunately. 😞 Any tips on how I can investigate this further or what else I can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I think I managed to figure it out by changing the code to print out the error. That led me to this.

TL;DR: Seems like the pytube repo is poorly maintained and you should probably switch to pytubefix.

Installing the tool and switching the import seems to fix it.

Good work. Can you send me a git pull request to change pop-fe to use pytubefix?

so you get proper credit for it in the git history.
