    Seems like the try/catch you are doing raises another exception

    Alright, workaround is to use -p to convert playlist to text file then use -l to download the list

    Hey guys, I found a bug in spotdl and I would like to fix it myself. Coming from data science I'm quite familiar with scripting in Python but working on a package is somewhat new to me. I'm stuck on just running the spotdl.py file from a debugger, the self imports are not working. Is anyone up for getting me started?

    Never mind, I figured it out. It was a PyCharm thing

    @ritiek you should add metadata support for this https://github.com/meik97/XSpotify

    Hi, is there a way to find my playlist.txt file after doing spotdl --playlist <link> ?
    A few of my songs that I'm trying to download, say for example song #1 and song #22, says "No video found on Youtube for a given search", and I'm wondering if I could find the names of those invalidated songs so that I can manually download them myself?
    I would greatly appreciate it if there's a way to do that @ritiek thanks! :)

    UPDATE: Just found it simply by searching it in my windows search lol, I feel so dumb

    Hello everyone! I'm having an issue with installing the program and I thought I might find help here

    spotdl: command not found

    Hi Ritiek and everyone, first I want to say that I love the program and have used it successfully to download my spotify playlist in the past. I am currently trying to use the overwrite command to skip duplicate tracks that I have previously downloaded to my music folder, however, when I call --overwrite skip, it doesn't actually skip any of the tracks. It checks, says that no duplicates are found and continues to download. I also tried to use the --skip command by creating a .txt file of all of the files within my music folder and added passed that file to my command as well. However, again it checked the file, said 0 duplicates were found and continues. Is there something that I am missing or doing wrong to get this functionality to work properly?
    Let me know if you have any suggestions for me to get this to work! Thank you for your help in advance
    jared.
    @jaredbrown50_twitter
    ^Regarding my last post, I have a feeling I might have spoke too soon, I am checking my download folder and not finding any duplicates despite the what the program was saying at the beginning of a run, the program possibly didn't find duplicates before but when trying to download to the folder the prompt triggered. Is there any way to skip the songs on the front end instead of the back end of the program run so that it doesn't take as long to run a long playlist?

    Is there any way to skip the songs on the front end instead of the back end of the program run so that it doesn't take as long to run a long playlist?

    Nope, sorry. For every track being dowloaded, the tool needs to first fetch its corresponding metadata from Spotify and YouTube. Once it has this metadata, only then it can generate a filename for the current track being downloaded. If it now checks that a file with this filename already exists beforehand then the --overwrite option comes into play.

    No problem, that definitely makes sense, thanks for the clarification and explanation! Hope all is well!

    @Eliqui You need to update your youtube-dl
    like it says in the error message
    Eliqui
    @Eliqui
    somehow it didn't work last time. now it did. thx anyway
    Eliqui
    @Eliqui
    but there's one thing in the new version which was better in the old one. in older versions it showed you the actual name of the video it downloaded. since it's the wrong one sometimes it was easier to identify it. if you download a whole playlist it can be quite timeconsuming to do this by listening to all of them. Also i get better search results if it's looking for:' {artist} - {track-name} topic ' instead of 'lyrics'
    Ritiek Malhotra
    @ritiek
    I see. I'll change it to also display the video title then

    I got that thing when I tried to download my playlist
    Yesterday it was fine but today it ain't working
    How do I fix it
    @ritiek any help?
    Ritiek Malhotra
    @ritiek
    How many tracks have you been downloading per day? I just wanna confirm if this has something to do with us moving to PyTube (and dropping Pafy) as more people have been filing reports on this specific HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests error lately. Check out #745. This is YouTube rate-limiting us and should fix itself after waiting for a while.

    My playlist was about 700 songs
    Guess I need to divide it a bit
    Thanks
    Triss-droid
    @Triss-droid
    I’ll try later to download again and let you know
    Triss-droid

    @ritiek It works now
    There is a daily limit I guess

    Hi everyone, is there any way to start downloading a playlist in background, so I close my ssh client and shut it down?
    Ritiek Malhotra
    @ritiek

    The easiest way I can think of would be to use screen or tmux. With screen you would go around like below:

    Create a screen session in your SSH session:

    $ ssh 127.0.0.1
$ screen

    Now invoke spotdl however you want to.

    Hit ctrl+a then ctrl+d here which will disconnect from the screen session but will allow it to keep running in the background. Now you can disconnect your SSH session and the downloads should keep running on the machine.

    If you want to anytime monitor the download progress, SSH into your machine and run screen -x in it to connect to the already existing screen session (which is where spotdl process is in).
