ytmdl not doing anything

[mehalter]

I am getting some strange functionality. I have done the pip install, have v0.1-r8, and have run ytmdl -s. It doesn't actually do anything.

If I run ytmdl "Fractures" for example, it completes in 1 second with no output and not files written or anything. I also get no errors, it just returns. Same if I try to pass in a URL like ytmdl --url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCu2gwLj9ok" "Fractures".

Are you sure no errors were shown? I tried the exact same command and its working all right. I also have v0.1-r8. Did you try with other songs.??

[mehalter]

Yup, I have also tried across distributions and multiple computers. Both Arch and Ubuntu, between 3 different computers. No error, not even an error code being sent back to the terminal. Exit status 0. Also I have tried multiple songs, with url, without, the only thing I can get it to do is help and version.

[deepjyoti30]

Can you please try the latest version?
First uninstall ytmdl by following
sudo pip uninstall ytmdl
Then install it again with the following
sudo pip install --no-cache-dir ytmdl --upgrade
And then setup config by -s flag and try.

[mehalter]

Just did that, still nothing on all machines, its still v0.1-r8.

[deepjyoti30]

Please do the above steps again. Pypi takes a bit time. Please run the exact commands i gave you.

[mehalter]

What is the version number I am looking for so I know I have gotten the correct version?

[deepjyoti30]

Can you check the version of installed by checking the output returned by
sudo pip install --no-cache-dir ytmdl --upgrade
If it shows version is post9 than its r9. Also, did you try ytmdl -s?

[mehalter]

Ah it does say post9 on the install but ytmdl- -version returns v0.1-r8 still. Just wanted to make sure. Also Yes, I have run the commands exactly as you sent them to uninstall and reinstall, ran ytmdl -s, verified the config file was created, still absolutely no output or errors with and without specifying a url, on 2 laptops and a desktop, Ubuntu and Arch.

[deepjyoti30]

Clone the repo.
Then move to the dir and run following
python ytmdl.py "Fractures"
Please tell me if that works

[mehalter]

It does not, same behavior

[deepjyoti30]

I guess it should be fixed now. I just uploaded post10 but --version will show r9, don't worry about that, check the version that pip shows. I am pretty sure its fixed now. Please uninstall and install using the command i gave you earlier

[deepjyoti30]

Sorry about that. I am currently looking into that. Did you try with other song names?

[mehalter]

Yeah, I have tried multiple songs, haven't gotten anything to work.

[deepjyoti30]

Can you please try the following.
Clone the beta branch to a directory
Then run following
python ytmdl.py "Fractures"

[deepjyoti30]

If it prints error, please gimme the log

[mehalter]

That one seems to work

[deepjyoti30]

Everything is working??

[deepjyoti30]

Can you please try the steps again an try?? I mean clone the beta again and try. ??

[mehalter]

Ok, it works almost perfectly. Now if I specify something that isn't the first option for song data, the song gets put in the wrong folder. Correct information and correct meta data, but is put in the folder structure of the wrong album and artist

That error should be fixed now.
Uninstall ytmdl and install it by the following commands
sudo pip uninstall ytmdl
sudo pip install --no-cache-dir ytmdl --upgrade

[mehalter]

I am getting a hang on Downloading .... It doesn't matter if I pass in a URL or I select one from the list, it never downloads. Also this is version 0.2.post3

[deepjyoti30]

Weird. I made some changes in downloading, that might be the issue. Anyways move to the previous version vy uninstalling and then installing post2 by following
sudo pip install ytmdl==0.2.post2
