The problem is that they changed the name, now there are no formats anywhere, this name has changed to adaptiveFormats

I tried to change "formats" to "adaptiveFormats" in https://github.com/soimort/you-get/blob/develop/src/you_get/extractors/youtube.py (like line 242) , but when I run it, you-get returns an empty itag list.
