It looks like the track object of songObject of Taylor Swift - Love Story, but I don't know how that's possible.
I'm also unable to find the song in the playlist on Spotify.
{'added_at': '2020-01-22T08:43:17Z', 'added_by': {'external_urls': {'spotify': 'https://open.spotify.com/user/pm5gmrz0rm7b3eayz8aa51840'}, 'href': 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/pm5gmrz0rm7b3eayz8aa51840', 'id': 'pm5gmrz0rm7b3eayz8aa51840', 'type': 'user', 'uri': 'spotify:user:pm5gmrz0rm7b3eayz8aa51840'}, 'is_local': False, 'primary_color': None, 'track': None, 'video_thumbnail': None}

I found the song it's the 357 entry in the list.
I don't see anything particular with the song, but the Spotify Python API is unable to retrieve any information about the song.

[kyleharte]

Thats very weird that it would happening. I haven't looked at the code base yet but would surrounding it in a try catch statement help

This is the same thing that happens when we stop filtering the ytm results of I'm not wrong.

I think we should compare songEntry with None before subscripting it.

Try adding this before line 82 in utils.py

if songEntry is None: 
    continue

Yes, The error raised is the same one. Because when we don't filter out songs, some of the results don't have keys like 'videoId' in them.
But here, the cause is the spotify API and not ytmapi.

[s1as3r]

@kyleharte could you check if all the songs in that playlist are available in your country?

[kyleharte]

It's my playlist, so it definitely would be.

Try adding this before line 82 in utils.py

if songEntry is None: 
    continue

Could you try this?

[bee395]

Ah my bad. It's not the song Love Story that's the problem. But the song after that.
It looks like there is a song in between Love Story and Say Na Na Na, which also is not shown on the Spotify Website.

I found a similar issue on spotify/spotipy (See: spotipy-dev/spotipy#626)

@kyleharte you can skip any missing tracks by inserting this if statement on line 82 of utils.py, until it's fixed.

if songEntry['track'] is None:
    continue

Hey @bee395, could you open a PR to hotfix with that change please

Hey @bee395, could you open a PR to hotfix with that change please

I created a pull request.

I also get this error when downloading any song.
Running on repl.it, is that the problem?

[Silverarmor]

@JavaScythe This specific issue is resolved on v3.2.2.
However, repl.it does not support FFmpeg, so you cannot use spotDL there.

[xnetcat]

Fixed in v3.3.2
