I am trying to get an audio version of a YouTube video, but when I use pytube with Python 3.11, it is giving me this error on the following code:

from pytube import YouTube

yt = YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xam2U8loUvA')

yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4')

This is the complete error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

pytube.exceptions.RegexMatchError: get_transform_object: could not find match for var for={(.*?)};

I have tried to change the cipher.py file, and install pytube using both, pip install pytube and pip install git+https://github.com/nficano/pytube.git, and those haven't worked as well.
