How to add progress bar?


Is there a way to add progress bar in pytube? I don't know how to use the following method:

pytube.Stream().on_progress(chunk, file_handler, bytes_remaining)

My code:

from pytube import YouTube
# from pytube import Stream
from general import append_to_file


def downloader(video_link, down_dir=None):
    try:
        tube = YouTube(video_link)
        title = tube.title
        print("Now downloading,  " + str(title))
        video = tube.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').first()
        print('FileSize : ' + str(round(video.filesize/(1024*1024))) + 'MB')
        # print(tube.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').first())
        # Stream(video).on_progress()
        if down_dir is not None:
            video.download(down_dir)
        else:
            video.download()
        print("Download complete, " + str(title))
        caption = tube.captions.get_by_language_code('en')
        if caption is not None:
            subtitle = caption.generate_srt_captions()
            open(title + '.srt', 'w').write(subtitle)
    except Exception as e:
        print("ErrorDownloadVideo  |  " + str(video_link))
        append_to_file('debug', format(e))
    # FILESIZE print(tube.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').first().filesize/(1024*1024))

Solution

  • Call your progress function inside the Youtube class

    yt = YouTube(video_link, on_progress_callback=progress_function)

    This is your progress function

    def progress_function(self,stream, chunk,file_handle, bytes_remaining):
    
        size = stream.filesize
        p = 0
        while p <= 100:
            progress = p
            print str(p)+'%'
            p = percent(bytes_remaining, size)
    

    This computes the percentage converting the file size and the bytes remaining

    def percent(self, tem, total):
            perc = (float(tem) / float(total)) * float(100)
            return perc
