Streamlit yolo app not working with Youtube videos

[Eduardo_Padron]

Hi I have this code, when I run the app locally it works if I put a youtube link and it uses YOLO to detect objects in the video but when I run it in share.streamlit it gives me this error:
This is the link of the app, I’m not sure why is appearing that

Error loading video: init : could not find match for ^\w+\W

Update: I found how to fix it in local but I need to modify the file cipher.py in the pytube site packages, Change line 30 var_regex = re.compile(r"^\w+\W") to var_regex = re.compile(r"^$*\w+\W") but how can I do that in Streamlit share hub

Hi @Eduardo_Padron

There’s a similar forum post for changing a function parameter, can you see if you can adapt it to your use case.

Pretty way to change a function’s parameters via st.dropdown if these parameters are not in app.py?

How about using session state to hold kwargs selected in the dropdown? Can’t you pass them directly as parameters? Alternatively, put the components that are serving the app behind a FastAPI microservice running on a separate thread. HOST = 'localhost' PORT = 8000 def thread_runner(app, host, port): uvicorn.run(app, host=host, port=port) app = FastAPI() @app.get('/prepare_query') def prepare_query(**kwargs): for name, val in kwargs.items(): # build your query string here, do …

Hi @dataprofessor, thank you so much for the response but at the end I found that I can use the requirements.txt and put this line

git+https://github.com/fullmakeralchemist/pytube/

So what I did is fork the library pytube and in my fork I modified the var_regex for var_regex = re.compile(r"^$*\w+\W") in line 30 from the file cipher.py and that worked

Hi, glad to hear that you’ve found a working implementation!
