A problem about "regex_search: could not find match for (?:v=|\/)([0-9A-Za-z_-]{11})."

[LiuXinqi12]

Hi, when I run your program "python download_images.py --vid VIDEO_ID", there is a problem "regex_search: could not find match for (?:v=|/)([0-9A-Za-z_-]{11})."occured. It seems to be related to pytube, but after I modified it according to the suggestions on github(pytube/pytube#312 (comment)), it still doesn't work, so I cannot get the dataset. In addition, program "python download_images.py --set train" seem can work. The pytube version I use is "9.6.4", can you give me some help? Thank you very much!

You might have the wrong version of pytube. Uninstall it using,
pip uninstall pytube
and then install using this,
pip install git+https://github.com/nficano/pytube.git
It should fix the problem.
