I am getting the same results on both stable and latest version.
It was fine two weeks ago when I last used it. I just updated to latest Python 391 hoping it would fix it. It didn't.

This is happening on both previous 3.1.4 and current dev 3.2.0rc0

Dec version is still glitchy. Please keep to master

Vaarelsauce · 2020-12-20T04:30:04Z

Same here. Tried downloading a playlist, and it threw the same error. Is there a way to revert back to the old usable version again?

ghost · 2020-12-20T04:50:58Z

As far as I know, the only thing you can do is a clean reinstall.

Uninstall SpotDL and it's dependencies. Clear your pip cache, install SpotDL with pip.

andrew-aiken · 2020-12-20T14:03:36Z

I have complete several fresh installations on different platforms (Windows & Linux) and it's still giving the same error msg.

mirenbz · 2020-12-21T15:44:09Z

Same here... there's no solution yet, right?

wmorgue · 2020-12-25T11:14:33Z

Bump.
Any news?

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-28T03:22:53Z

I think that I've found where the issue is. The __query_and_simplify() function in provider.py is not returning anything, no matter the input (from my tests)

When it didn't return anything for the whole set of queries (whether that was an album, playlist, or a single track), the code tried to delete the .spotdltrackingfile that didn't exist (hence the nonetype error)

Now, I'm not sure what all is supposed to be returned in the list from that function, but I found a possible api replacement at https://python-youtube-music.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (on github at https://github.com/tombulled/python-youtube-music), it actually works to return a list of possible suggestions, although I find that it is lacking in the metadata department, so choosing a best fit may be harder if the algorithm relies on that.

I'll try to integrate it tonight and see what happens

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-29T04:39:37Z

Update: the ytm library works like a charm for getting a list of links, but it gives little to no metadata (not good) so I'm looking at the ytmusicapi library (https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) because while I cannot get the search function to work, I can pass it a youtube video or song ID and get the metadata back (and formatted quite nicely for what we want it for, imo)

ghost · 2020-12-29T04:45:19Z

@chhawkins2001, we get a ton of metadata from Spotify - much more than YouTube can provide (a full 1 mb of it) the only reason we need YouTube music is to get a song match on YouTube.

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-29T06:25:13Z

Yea, I get that, but without the metadata from the second library, there would be no way to get an accurate match. There was no duration, artist, or correct album title, so we would be finding matches based on the title alone.

I think I have a working implementation, so once my computer stops hating me, I'll make a pull request and y'all can see my not-up-to-standards code haha

terrorhawks · 2020-12-29T08:58:09Z

@chhawkins2001 I have tested your commit and looks like you missed off a file.

import ytm ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ytm'

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-29T16:46:35Z

ah, I see the issue

I forgot that ytm needs a seperate install because you can't just pip it directly from github, afaik

heres the link to it: https://github.com/tombulled/python-youtube-music

sorry about that!

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-29T16:48:14Z

I'm not sure how to implement that directly in the code, because I haven't had much experience with package dependencies on github, so if someone with more experience could help me out with that, I would be so thankful

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-29T16:49:30Z

Oh, and one last thing, I'm pretty sure you DO need the YouTubeMusicDL support

Updates the expected return value of the YTM query.

pithuene · 2020-12-30T00:16:56Z

Fixed it without the need for a new dependency

chhawkins2001 · 2020-12-30T02:37:57Z

Oh, nice!

One issue though...

While it works for the couple of the single tracks I tested, this album (https://open.spotify.com/album/3GmCXW10kLxmZrEY0JpRlw and I'm sure many others) does not work on your fix, while it does on mine, I'm not sure why, but no error is thrown, so I think that the underlying issue is still there, even though you fixed the obvious errors it was throwing

Edit: I redact my statement, it was a config that i had broken on accident and not reverted, great fix!

Updates the expected return value of the YTM query.

Maja-dev · 2021-01-01T22:49:31Z

I'm a dummie when it comes to python and github. How can I get this fixed version?
pip install https://codeload.github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/zip/master seems to give me 3.1.4 with still the same error.

HazelNutzzz · 2021-01-02T09:29:09Z

@pithuene 's branch fixes this error for me.

Maja-dev · 2021-01-05T00:33:31Z

Figured out how to install branches. While @pithuene 's branch gave me KeyError: 'playNavigationEndpoint' straight away...
This made it at least search after each track but end up with TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'pattern' after 11%.

Current spotDL master commit still gives me the first TypeError: Remove that this issue is based up on.

Current spotDL master commit still gives me the first TypeError: Remove that this issue is based up on.

The KeyError: 'playNavigationEndpoint' issue was fixed in #1043 which is not yet present in my master branch. If you really want to install from my fork use the dev branch which currently contains fixes for #1044 #1038 and #995. However, this should only be a short term fix until #1064 is merged. I can't guarantee that the branch remains usable.

Fix #1044
