Constant FFmpeg Error Messages

Constant Error Messages Firing

I finished setting up spotDL yesterday. Until recently, about three albums into the process, I started getting met with constant error messages. I use the website interface, I did see another post that might be the same issue, but no resolution was met there.

I am going to go through a run through of my process so any complications could be highlighted from there.

I start by opening- double clicking- the “spotdl-4.2.3-win32.exe” and waiting for that to open the web UI.

Random song: Whitney Houston’s “You Give Good Love”, 4 minutes & 37 seconds.
https://open.spotify.com/track/0t6DdFmFQhQYWhmfa5FJer?si=848551c35cf34ac8
Downloaded quickly, paused at 50& conversion but continued until completed. Deleted the song from the queue history afterwards.

Random album: Whitney Houston’s “Whitney”, 11 tracks, 55 minutes & 52 seconds.
https://open.spotify.com/album/5Vdzprr5cOqXQo44eHeV7t?si=5IJiK_ygQ46FiRZLweR9eQ
Was like the single-track attempt.

Let me find another sample to see if it cured itself. Thinking about the possible causes of it, over filling the queue?

Random album: https://open.spotify.com/album/1J1yxODbNlqKbwRqJxYJUP

AND ERROR MESSAGES.

So, here’s what I’ve noticed. All times I’ve received error messages, it’s been with musicals. I don’t think it’s actually track amount because the original albums I was trying to download were 4 albums where each had less than 5 songs.

Here, there are 40 songs in the album. Out of that 40, 10 songs were labelled ERROR. Now, that’s not as bad, but I was originally trying to download an album of 4 songs and 3 of them ERROR messaged so, I do think it’s a concern.

Let me get some screenshots and the TXT files for the errors.

Reading the website some more, I see this:

But I don't know if this is the same web interface because I'd downloaed whole albums and I don't type anything in to get to the website ui.
