403 Seektable Error - Githubissues

I'm encountering a "seektable" error specifically when downloading AAC quality songs on both macOS and Windows platforms. While using the --config-path option resolves the issue on Windows, it unfortunately doesn't work on macOS. This inconsistency between platforms highlights a potential bug or limitation in the current implementation.
