did you find a fix for this?

[abstract musk]

No, but last time I checked I was working again. Test it yourself.

I found a fix, had to go into the settings json file and change the biteate from 'null' to '128k'
Works fine now

[abstract musk]

Sorry, I'm using the .exe version. Where can I find that json file?

nerver mind lol

I found it

I have the same issue and when I try to change bitrate to 128k it won’t even open. It also won’t even attempt to download anything when i put in a playlist over 5 songs and when i do i still get 500 error. I have tried earlier version and it still doesn’t work. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

[brave spear]

Same issue here. Tried that fix but doesn't work either

[abstract musk]

I honestly have no idea. I had a similar error when I tried this fix, I forgot to add the "" to the 128k (it should look like this: "128k") that was the reason why it didn't open for me.

Now it's working fine
