I ran "spotdl https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6PRpbHhhaiA4JP6Sf4en6W?si=789c7cd4f7114247"

[dark zealot]

@proper crypt "latest" is not a version number. I'd be rich if I got $1 everytime someone said latest and they weren't on latest

[dark zealot]

provide ALL INFO as requested here

also please inform ffmpeg version & where you installed it from

[proper crypt]

I'm sorry,

SpotDL: v4.2.11 (latest)
windows version: 24H2
FFMPEG: downloaded via "spotdl --download-ffmpeg"
Command: "spotdl (link above)"

[dark zealot]

Likely outdated ffmpeg/incorrect installation.
The error message you screenshotted shows the path to the ffmpeg error - go have a look at that

hmm can you run ffmpeg and show the terminal output?

[proper crypt]

yes

[dark zealot]

don't use admin level terminals

but spotDL's ffmpeg should be alright, please run the following in a normal terminal

[proper crypt]

like python?

[dark zealot]

spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/track/0VjIjW4GlUZAMYd2vXMi3b --log-level DEBUG

nah like command prompt/powershell

[proper crypt]

sorry I'm not good at this

[dark zealot]

but not administrator

you can right click your windows button/bottom left of the task bar

[proper crypt]

is shift+right click power shell good?

[dark zealot]

Yep

just dont open it in system32 like ur last screenshot haha

[dark zealot]

still processing, give it a sec

[proper crypt]

thank you for doign this c:

[dark zealot]

looks like that downloaded

try your playlist again?

oh i'd avoid running in onedrive, we've seen that causing errors when downloading multiple files at once

[proper crypt]

yeah I've been struggling to delete that stupid piece of malware :c

onedrive is hell on earth

[dark zealot]

😭 haha fr

(im stuck using it for work)

[proper crypt]

it works btw

I dont know why it broke

I think it was just onedrive..?

[dark zealot]

possibly yeah, i've seen that a couple times in the past

also might've been restarting the terminal

good to hear it works :)

[proper crypt]

eitherway

I have a 4 hour road trip

excited to have working music since they shut down spotify apks

thank you so much again, is there any way to pay you back?

idk leave a review this server is awesome

[dark zealot]

haha best of luck with your road trip.
