^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?

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!

@ritiek

@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.

Triss-droid

@Triss-droid

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

@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).

How i can download playlist

Ritiek Malhotra

@ritiek

You cannot directly pass a playlist for download. Try this instead:

from spotdl.helpers.spotify import SpotifyHelpers
from spotdl import Spotdl

from spotdl import util
import logging
util.install_logger(logging.INFO)

playlist_uri = "https://open.spotify.com/user/nocopyrightsounds/playlist/7sZbq8QGyMnhKPcLJvCUFD"
tracks_file = "tracks.txt"

with Spotdl() as spotdl_handler:
    spotify_tools = SpotifyHelpers()
    playlist = spotify_tools.fetch_playlist(playlist_uri)
    spotify_tools.write_playlist_tracks(playlist, tracks_file)
    spotdl_handler.download_tracks_from_file(tracks_file)

I'm still on working on the API docs but hope this clears some stuff.

How-to install spotdl in android termux

I installed and runned song Downloading showing data/termux/ but no files detected ritek please reply

Ritiek Malhotra

@ritiek

I don't understand. Are you unable to download tracks or unable to find the downloaded tracks? If it is the latter, you need to run termux-setup-storage and then modify your ~/.config/spotdl/config.yml to save tracks somewhere in the shared storage directory, so that you can access songs from other apps.

Jim-Brewer

@Jim-Brewer

Similar vein to the above, was using Termux but looks like it's no longer working with the latest update due to the need for multiprocessing support. It throws the error '''ImportError: This platform lacks a functioning sem_open implementation, therefore, the required synchronization primitives needed will not function, see issue 3770 '''

Anyone know of any workarounds for this? It's been raised in the Termux git before but sounds like there is no way to implement it on Android so it'd be up to spotdl to not rely on it if unavailable
