Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I had try to download two soundcloud playlists that my friend has uploaded on soundcloud. I have used the switches to save the metadata and cover inside the music file. I had this sucessfully with a migrated playlist from spotify to youtube but in this case I can't do this without these errors. Sorry if someone cannot understand something that I said.

Update ffmpeg.
