Found fix

[aolteanu00]

Determined that 2 modifications are required to the source code for this to work. First install an older version of the slugify package (anything before 4.0.0) and then reference one of the previous posts about failing to fetch video id. Replace the if statement with the new one the user provided and then everything should work hope this helps.

@aolteanu00 this didn't work or maybe I missed something. Can you please elaborate more on the fix?

FYI for anyone else looking: if this was intended to fix the "Failed to fetch video meta" error, it didn't work for me either.

I applied this change and tried python-slugify versions 3.0.6 (which immediately precedes 4.0.0), then 3.0.5, 3.0.4, 3.03, 3.02, and 3.01, to no avail.

It's been a while so I don't totally remember but the directions in this issue did the trick for me: #55.
This is the if-statement swap I was referring to. Then I don't recall how I figured that an older version of slugify was needed but these two changes made it work. Good luck y'all

@fureigh I'm having the same issue, were you ever able to fix this problem?
