Public bug reported: * Impact The script [youtube-dl] stopped working due to changes on the website. I may have last used it yesterday (or very recently anyway)
* Test case $ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9E4eSNNsrs -> it should download the video * Regression potential The script was not working at all so it shouldn't create new problem, just check it downloads videos without error This was attempted on two 19.10 boxes; using different URL's, one with --extract-audio On one box I removed the `youtube-dl` package, and pip installed youtube-dl & it worked; so I'm assuming upstream have fixed the issue. guiverc@d960-ubu2:~$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9E4eSNNsrs [youtube] Y9E4eSNNsrs: Downloading webpage [youtube] Y9E4eSNNsrs: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] Y9E4eSNNsrs: Downloading js player vflxACNZ2 ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/guiverc/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1342, in _decrypt_signature video_id, player_url, s File "/home/guiverc/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1250, in _extract_signature_function res = self._parse_sig_js(code) File "/home/guiverc/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1314, in _parse_sig_js jscode, 'Initial JS player signature function name', group='sig') File "/home/guiverc/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py", line 1004, in _search_regex raise RegexNotFoundError('Unable to extract %s' % _name) youtube_dl.utils.RegexNotFoundError: Unable to extract Initial JS player signature function name; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .
