unrecognized arguments

[kaigiessen]

First of all, thanks for this awesome tool!

I installed everything according to the guide.

When trying to record an audio file I receive this error message:

user1@hostname:~/spotify-recorder$ py api.py https://open.spotify.com/track/X?si=X
/usr/bin/py:16: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated since Python 3.3, and in 3.10 it will stop working
  from collections import Iterable

py: error: unrecognized arguments: https://open.spotify.com/track/X?si=X

@fm16191 - Any ideas?

Hi !

Please first try using python or python3 instead of py.

I forgot I was using py as an alias for python3... and according to your issue, it doesn't seems py is a python compiler on your device.

Thanks - here is what I am getting when using python3 instead (waited 5 minutes for a 50sec track so I keyboard interrupted)

Uh-oh. I'm not sure how I could reproduce that issue :(

I would need more information to help you.

By first getting last changes (git pull in the folder), can you try this : ./spotdl spotify:track:TRACK_ID test 5 in your terminal (replace the TRACK_ID using the share link, following that format : https://open.spotify.com/track/TRACK_ID?si=X) and provide me the output ?

Moreover, what is your shell ?

[EDIT : I missed a parameter. Fixed]

[kaigiessen]

Did the git pull

Then had to run sudo apt-get install jq sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-utils

Now getting

user1@hostname:~/spotify-recorder$ ./spotdl.sh spotify:track:X 5

Sorry for the late answer.

It seems that your pulseaudio isn't working the way it should. According to the links below, you might have to reinstall pulseaudio : sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install pulseaudio and then pulseaudio --start

[fm16191]

Also, apologies. I failed the ./spotdl.sh command

Once you've tried out those commands, please retry doing ./spotdl.sh spotify:track:X test 5

Just to clarify: Does this script support a headless setup? Installed a desktop version of Ubuntu and it's working.

[fm16191]

Must depends on Spotify's ability to be runned headlessly as long as Spotify can be runned without graphical environment, the python and bash scripts would work seamlessly

[fm16191]

Hi, did you managed to run Spotify headlessly ? I tried on my side, but unsuccessfully.

It can be very interesting if possible.

[kaigiessen]

Didn't get it to work headlessly. Having said that, it's working just fine on my desktop Ubuntu machine.
