I have been using the youtube converter for a while now, but for some reason, it stopped working. I didn't change any of my code or anything. Here is the problem. The download works, but the mp4 file outcome is blank/corrupted. Here is an example:
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42550108/167036901-592f69c0-62ad-4398-81bb-de4f0255a925.mp4

Although I don't think it's my code, here:

core.get('/youtube-converter/download', async function(req, res, next) {
  const queryObject = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
  var video = queryObject.url;
  var quality = queryObject.quality;
  var filename = queryObject.name;
  if (filename == '') {
    filename = 'youtubetomp4-download';
  }
  if (!video.includes('youtube.com/watch?v=')) {
    res.status(403)
    res.header({
      'Content-Type': 'text/html'
    });
    res.send("<hr><h1 style='text-align:center'>Invalid Youtube Link: " + video + "</h1><hr>");
    console.log('Invalid Youtube String: ' + video);
    return;
  }
  const youtube = await new Innertube();
  var stream;
  if (quality != 'mp3') {
    stream = youtube.download(video.split('=')[1], {
      format: 'mp4', // Optional, ignored when type is set to audio and defaults to mp4, and I recommend to leave it as it is
      quality: quality, // if a video doesn't have a specific quality it'll fall back to 360p, also ignored when type is set to audio
      type: 'videoandaudio' // can be “video”, “audio” and “videoandaudio”
    });
    res.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename="' + filename + '.mp4"');
    res.header('Content-Type', ['application/octet-stream', 'video/mp4']);
  } else {
    stream = youtube.download(video.split('=')[1], {
      type: 'mp3',
      quality: quality, // if a video doesn't have a specific quality it'll fall back to 360p, also ignored when type is set to audio
      type: 'audio' // can be “video”, “audio” and “videoandaudio”
    });
    res.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename="' + filename + '.mp3"');
    res.header('Content-Type', ['application/octet-stream', 'video/mp3']);
  }
  var start;
  stream.on('info', (info) => {
    res.stream(stream, info.contentLength);
  })
  stream.on('start', (info) => {
    start = new Date();
    console.log('Downloading: ' + video.split('=')[1]);
  });
  stream.on('end', () => {
    var end = new Date();
    var seconds = (end.getTime() - start.getTime()) / 1000;
    console.log(video.split('=')[1] + ': ' + seconds + ' second(s)');
  })
  stream.on('error', (error) => {
    res.removeHeader('Content-Disposition');
    res.removeHeader('Content-Type');
    res.header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    res.write('<head><title>Please Try Again...</title></head><body><h1> Error Converting Video </h1><p>' + JSON.stringify(error) + '</body>');
    res.end();
  });
});
