C:\Users\User\Desktop\portable\library.zip\youtube_dl_gui\downloaders.py:59: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

What operating system do you use ?

Windows 10 Pro

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

.. Download entire playlist from YouTube and convert it to MP3.
.. When it finishes, at the numbe of videos, it specifies "Error x/x" (15/15 for example).
.. Close the program, it lets me know that II should check the log because an error has ocurred.

What is the expected behaviour ?

It's expected that the log doesn't reveal any issues and downloads smoothly the playlist without any issues.

What happens instead ?

There's an error everytime I download a playlist.

this looks like it's failing during transcoding but can't be 100% sure. do any of the songs in the playlist you are downloading have any special characters/emoji in the title? if you have any additional logs or the link that won't download then that would help.

alternatively, as this project isn't being actively maintained you could try another youtube-dl interface (e.g. tartube, youtube-dl-front-end) and see if you encounter the same problem

Hello! Thank your for your response, really appreciate it! Yes, I actually made sure about that, there're no special characters/emojis in the titles of the songs of the playlists. For sure, at the moment that's the only log that keeps repeating, it's always the same. Here's the link to the playlists that won't download: this one and this one.

I even tried using Youtube-DL-GUI in another PC and had the same issues. Exactly, I tried another interfaces too, quite a few of them. I had the same problems with Tartube. I think youtube-dl-front-end is only for downloading video, isn't it? I tried but it didn't work. For the moment the only ones that have worked (in some cases) are: Reel Downloader and Youtube-Downloader-GUI. The weird thing is that in some cases I have issues downloading a playlist, and then after a few tries it finally works, for some reason. But only applies to some cases, in the rest of them the issues remain. Thanks in advance!
