Hello @hidden temple
How did you reinstall ffmpeg ? Did you just use "spotdl --download-ffmpeg"?
I'm having the same issue you had. 0kbps in properties and some players (like the native one of Windows) can not play the .m4a files.
I tried to reinstall with "--download-ffmpeg", also tried some different versions of ffmpeg but, the issue persists. :/

#

copied response from someone else

#

try that

#

again please use you're eyes I legit found this info in 30 seconds
