Description
https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/releases/tag/v1.1.0
Refactored the way the captions json is retrieved from scraping it from the /watch html to fetching it from the innertube API
Added a new exception called PoTokenRequired, which will be raised if timedtext urls are encountered that require a PO token, such that we get feedback from users ASAP if this happens again
