[Silverarmor]

Just tried to run it myself.
Note that at time of being stuck, Avicii - For A Better Day.webm, Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World.webm, Lil Wayne - Sucker for Pain (with Wiz Khalifa Imagine Dragons Logic & Ty Dolla ign feat X Ambassadors).webm, Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out.webm are in the Temp Folder.

Try remove the song "Sucker for Pain" from your playlist.

See traceback below.

I removed the song and now it's downloaded until 61% and then stoped

[phcreery]

I too noticed that .webm files were boing leftover but I am not sure if that is related to the issue. This could be related to #1065 where it was improved to automatically selected the highest quality option (which possibly isn't always .mp4)

_perform_audio_download() L323 as a result needs to be updated it include other filetypes.

The issue looks like it could be resolved by implementing similar changes in #1076

[Silverarmor]

@dansh03 try install from dev, #1076 could possibly help you as @phcreery says.

Try the following:

1. pip install pip-autoremove
2. pip-autoremove spotdl
3. pip cache purge
4. pip install https://codeload.github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/zip/dev

[dansh03]

tried and now the traceback is

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\Users\Daniel\Music\daniel2\.\Temp\ZENA - Like It.mp4'

I think its because it tries to download it as mp.4 but not sure

[dansh03]

tried to remove the song and run again but it still stuck on 62%

[dansh03]

nevermind I tried to run it from where it stopped and it worked
