I hope you're doing well. I recently encountered an issue with the Spotify Web Downloader after reinstalling my operating system. The tool was working fine until a few days ago, but now I’m getting the following traceback error:

This error started occurring only after I reinstalled my system. The downloader worked perfectly two days ago, before the reinstallation. I have confirmed that cookie.txt was correctly obtained and placed in the ./ directory as per the usual process. Could this be related to missing dependencies, or possibly a change in API authentication that I might need to update? Do you have any suggestions on how I could resolve this issue?
It seems the hard coded WVD got blocked by Spotify. I'll fix this in next update. Many users are facing this issue. Please be patient and stay tuned for next update.
