Am I able to use rustube in a non-synchronous way?

[nednoodlehead]

I see lots of the docs.rs documentation uses tokio / async / await functions, I've never really used any of that stuff before, does this crate have support for non-async usage? I'm basically hoping to just have pytube in Rust that I can work with.

I saw this part of the documentation that mentions it being a "Blocking wrappers for using rustube in a synchronous context.". But running that code at the top of the link just spits out an error (? operator can only be applies to values that implement "try") on the Video::from_url(&url)? part.

I would really assume that this "problem" is just user error, but I've read through a fair bit of docs and haven't found an example that runs without the tokio async stuff.

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated

Hey @nednoodlehead, yes rustube provides blocking wrappers. These wrappers have the same name as the non-blocking types. So my guess, without seeing any of the code, is that you're using rustube::Video instead of rustube::blocking::Video. Also, you need to enable the blocking feature of the crate.

I hope this solves your issues. If not, please share the exact code you used.

Yes, this does solve things. Thanks.
