Keep getting "Failed to download: <songname>" #20

Hi there

I've been trying to make this work for some time and I'm currently stuck in this issue with no way to make it work. I am supplying a program with a spotify playlist. It starts going through the song and as when trying to download the first one I get "Failed to download : <songname> , skipping". It skips to the second song, and then prints "Out of download retries: <songname>, skipping"

I have tried printing the results and can confirm the program is finding lots of options to download for each song. I have tried using random logins and my own. I have tried many of the different flags and options to see if anything would let me download but to not success. image

I have used both SoulseekQT and Nicotine+ with no problem.

If you could help me figure out what's missing here I would appreciate it a lot 👍 Thanks

Ok I think I understand what the issue is, not the cause though. I saw in your reddit thread someone having a similar problem and they edited their post saying removing strange characters from the spotify playlist name worked. Reddit comment

Sure enough, I had a ? in my playlist title, and even though I was using a custom folder name, this was causing all downloads to fail. After renaming the Spotify playlist, everything works correctly :)

I'll leave this here just in case, but I think you can probably close this issue!

ps thanks for this piece of software, you rock!
