Python youtube link to mp4

Python
1 
import tkinter as tk
import customtkinter as ctk
from pytube import YouTube

def Download(url_var):   
    try:
        ytlink = link.get(url_var)
        ytObject = YouTube(ytlink)
        video = ytObject.streams.get_highest_resolution(url_var)
        video.download(video) 
    except:
        print("Invalid link") 
    print("Download Compleate")
ctk.set_appearance_mode("System")
ctk.set_default_color_theme("blue")

app = ctk.CTk()
app.geometry("720x480")
app.title("YouTube Download")

url_var = tk.StringVar()
title = ctk.CTkLabel(app, text="Insert a YouTube link")
title.pack(padx=10, pady=10)


link = ctk.CTkEntry(app, width=350, height=40, textvariable=url_var)
link.pack()

download = ctk.CTkButton(app, text="Download", command=Download)
download.pack()

app.mainloop()

It should work, but it gives me this error:
File “C:\Users\ХарисВМладенов\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\site-packages\customtkinter\windows\widgets\ctk_button.py”, line 553, in _clicked
self._command()
TypeError: Download() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘url_var’

The error message suggests that the Download() function is missing a required argument. Looking at the function definition, it appears that the url_var parameter is not being passed to the function correctly.

In the line download = ctk.CTkButton(app, text="Download", command=Download), the Download function is being passed as the command argument to the ctk.CTkButton constructor. However, the function is being passed without any arguments, which means that the url_var parameter is not being passed to the function.

To fix this, you can modify the Download() function to take no arguments and to retrieve the value of url_var directly from the url_var object defined earlier. Here is the modified Download() function:

def Download():
    try:
        ytlink = url_var.get()
        ytObject = YouTube(ytlink)
        video = ytObject.streams.get_highest_resolution()
        video.download()
    except:
        print("Invalid link")
    print("Download Complete")

In this modified version of Download(), the url_var.get() method is used to retrieve the value of url_var directly. The get_highest_resolution() and download() methods are called on the video object without any arguments, which means that the highest-resolution video will be downloaded to the current working directory.

After making this change, the Download() function should be able to retrieve the value of url_var correctly and the TypeError should be resolved. Let me know if that works.
