i tried to use tkinter for my yt downloader but now im facing this problem ( freezing ) i searched for the fix of it and found threading and tried it works fine when pressing button but can't even download any video when running it

error from pytube :

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

The actual thing happening here is, threading working on the button, then it somehow executes the code without even adding a URL and then the program stop working even if i tried to put a URL and download it. any ideas??

CodePudding user response:

Your command callback for the self.download is being fired right away during the construction of your GUI.

You should wrap it in a lambda so that it is only executed when the button is clicked.

self.download = customtkinter.CTkButton(self, text="Download", command=lambda: threading.Thread(target=self.download_event).start())
