I have a problem with dislike error when creating an pafy.new url, perhaps it's because youtube hid numer of dislikes

import pafy
import vlc
url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4"
video = pafy.new(url)

KeyError: 'dislike_count'

There's a less heinous solution than editing package files by using an older version of youtube-dl.

Just run pip install youtube-dl==2020.12.2

just comment the line 53 and 54 from backend_youtube_dl.py in your pafy packages path

I face this same issue [solved]:

Here is problem screenshot: Key Error Pafy "dislike_count"

How solve this issue?

1: Open Pafy package directory pafy keyword dislike_count issue

2: Open backend_youtube_dl.py file in any txt editor

3: Add comment line number 54 pafy keyword dislike_count solution

pafy dislike_count error solved
