It works well for me. Do you have a reproduction process? (What video, what playlist, etc)

downloading seems to be hit and miss for me. Like downloading a playlist (like the "thumbs up" playlist) doesn't really do anything. I have turned on "skip existing", but there is not even a folder for the playlist in the download directory, so no idea why it would skip anything.

Side note, not related to the general download errors but also a download related issue: When I change the download preset to opus, the result is not opus, but the raw AAC (audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.2") stream with a .opus file extension and no metadata at all. I would have expected to get the unaltered opus stream in the highest available quality. Alternatively a AAC/mp4 preset to get the unaltered highest quality available might make sense.

edit: after a "force reload" I now also get the "video not found error on anything I click

• Unfortunately, the 'thumb up' playlist or automatically generated playlist by the system cannot be downloaded, which is YouTube's intended behavior.

• The current code is designed to download the audio track with the "highest" quality. However, it does not consider the case where the highest quality is the 'm4a' format, so the downloader plugin downloads 'm4a' files with the wrong extension.
  • I plan to improve downloader features to automatically detect the format and choose the appropriate file extension.

It doesn't for me, it was working perfectly previously. None of my playlists or songs, not even any individual song, once I click download this is what pops up

Had to downgrade to 2.0.3, and downloading works fine but now when i try to download a full playlist in bulk it downloads only the one song in playback.

Same for me on 2.0.4:

I added some console.log() to back.ts.

To downloadSong() definition:

console.log("downloadSong(%s, %s, %s, _)", url, playlistFolder, trackId);

To downloadSongUnsafe definition:

  console.log("downloadSongUnsafe(%d, %s, _, %s, %s, _)", isId, idOrUrl, playlistFolder, trackId); // <---

  sendFeedback('Downloading...', 2);

  console.log("Start resolving id"); // <---

  let id: string | null;
  if (isId) {
    id = idOrUrl;
    console.log("id = %s", id); // <---
  } else {
    id = getVideoId(idOrUrl);
    console.log("id = %s", id); // <---
    if (typeof id !== 'string') throw new Error('Video not found');
  }

  console.log("Id resolved"); // <---

  let info: TrackInfo | VideoInfo = await yt.music.getInfo(id);

Output in the situation shown in the screenshot above:

downloadSong(https://music.youtube.com/search?q=new+episode, undefined, undefined, _)
downloadSongUnsafe(0, https://music.youtube.com/search?q=new+episode, _, undefined, undefined, _)
Start resolving id
id = null
Error: Video not found

Downloading in older versions also does not work.

Thank you for the detailed bug report! @meequrox @Mendungo @da-anda
An invalid query selector (tabindex="0") caused this issue.

It should be fixed in bf9e3b5.
I'll release a hotfix soon!

It should fixed in #1310
