error on the win.32 exe web app version (not python built)

[bitter ingot]

recently been getting an error message on my download. i don't have python installed on my personal laptop so i just downloaded the pre-built windows exe that comes with the web ui. i have no idea why it's suddenly not working. I do not mess around with the config.json file EVER. any help would be much appreciated. this error shows up for ALL songs/playlists/albums.

ive been having simlar issues with the webui and the cli works just fine. If you have issues with both there is sum weird setting u gotta change in the config

[bitter ingot]

cli interface doesnt work bcs i dont have python installed

i did change the bitrate in the .json file

but it sounds like straight up garbage when i do

i have enough downloaded that im okay, just sucks that i cant get anything more

[drifting swan]

Even with the bitrate at max quality?

[bitter ingot]

yes, bitrate set to 192 and even 256 it sounds the same

Hi I am having the same issue as Dog Lover but have python, what commands did you use to fix the config for cli?

[drifting swan]

I set the bitrate to like 256k or wtv in the config

The default value like Null or something
