Traceback errors

[BritanofBritan]

v2 stopped working, so I upgrade to v3, which was working, but it wouldn't download the files. It made what looked like 0kb placeholder files instead. Now when I try to download, I get this back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/spotdl", line 6, in

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotdl/patches/pyTube.py", line 32, in
from pytube import request
ImportError: cannot import name 'request' from 'pytube' (unknown location)

I've tried using the v3 syntax, e.g. spotdl $playlisturl (or song, etc).

I've tried uninstalling / installing spotdl and all dependent packages. Nothing's worked.

Any new developments on this?

uninstall spotdl using pip-autoremove and reinstall it using pip spotdl.

If the issues persists, let us know.

Actually, don't this is due to the latest Pytube updates. We'll patch it up in a week max. Feel free to open a PR with fixes if the wait is too long.

[ghost]

Should be fixed in v3.1.3

Comment below if it isn't.

I updated with pip3 install spotdl, after uninstalling first. It seems to start to download, but then gives errors:

That's because of python standard libraries okok multiprocessing library. Fixing that would mean modifying python itself. The bug has been listed from python 3.2.1 itself.

We're working on a workaround but that will take quite some time to implement. Till then you'll just have to resume the interrupted downloads.

[ghost]

You shouldn't have any pytube errors or songs refusing to download errors now.

Ye?

[BritanofBritan]

I'm not getting pytube errors, however, while the mp3 downloads remain 0kb files (on first attempt), I discovered the /temp directory contains mp4 files that are the full downloads. So it seems whatever's doing the conversion isn't working.

Thanks for all the help, it's a way cool app :-)

Try reinstalling ffmpeg.
Remove, restart and re-add it to path

[percivjr]

Zero-byte files here too.

I tried re-installing ffmpeg but no improvement using v3.1.4, v3.1.3 or v3.1.2.

But after installing spotdl-3.2.0rc0 from next-rel-dev.zip, the conversion from mp4 to mp3 is working again.

(OK, I now get:
FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: './Temp'
but I've knocked up a crude bash script to auto-resume on error and the job completes)
