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

Expected behavior
I expect it to parse the URL normally
It seems able to do this normally on a staticaly typed URL, but extracting it from a channel name seems to be an issue

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.3 (Plow)
• Python Version 3.11.5
• pytubefix 3.1-rc1

Additional context
Testing a release candidate

The video_urls method is inherited from the Playlist class. Try using the .videos method, it returns YouTube object.

If you just need the url of each video, try this:

YOUTUBE_URL = str('https://www.youtube.com/@pbsspacetime/videos')
x = Channel(YOUTUBE_URL)
for index, VIDEO in enumerate(x.videos, start=1):
     print(VIDEO.watch_url)

Ultimately, that worked however -- this code has been working since its inception and only became an issue after I upgraded to 3.0.0 ... so something changed. This was the change that worked for me:

    # Iterate through the playlist
    for index, VID in enumerate(x.videos, start=1):

        VIDEO = VID.watch_url

I had to keep VIDEO intact, because of how other function are depending on that holding the video URL, otherwise, the VIDEO variable, just contained the YouTube object.
