im new to all of this and having the same error, how did u do that?

[lament sorrel]

you have to do 3 things

• upgrade yt-dlp to the nightly version pip install -U --pre "yt-dlp[default]"
• install deno (with your package manager, or from the site if you're on windows)
• find your python site-packages location, then go to spotdl/ and make the changes to the file mentioned here: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/pull/2564/files

that fixed it for me
