Bandcamp playlist no longer downloading #288

Closed tc36 closed 1 year ago

tc36 commented 1 year ago

Apologies if I make any mistakes in this post, never used github to report issues, made an account specifically for this

I'm attempting to download a bandcamp album using the playlist feature, which has never been an issue for me. I'm using the following argument, which has always worked perfectly:

bestaudio -x --embed-thumbnail --audio-format flac --embed-metadata -o "%(artist)s/%(album)s/%(title)s"

Now when I enter the url and click "get list" it appears to be processing as normal (and the log window checks out) but no list populates, and downloading doesn't do anything.

Attachment 1 shows the "Get List" results and attachment 2 shows the log window

This issue happens in multiple versions of media-downloader, I'm able to download directly via yt-dlp.exe just fine

Commenting to add: I've done a number of clean installs to verify it isn't a config issue

  1. Make sure Media Downloader is using the latest version of yt-dlp.

  2. Can you post a url so that I can test locally.

1) Just manually updated the yt-dlp.exe within the media-downloader bin folder and it still isnt functioning properly. Do I need to make any configuration adjustments?

2) try this link https://filmschoolmusic.bandcamp.com/album/brilliant-career

Media Downloader can not parse metadata even on YouTube in both Batch downloader tab and playlist downloader tab when using the latest version of yt-dlp(2023.06.22).

The only solution here is downgrade yt-dlp to a previous version until Media Downloader is updated.

I reverted back to version 2023.3.4.0 of yt-dlp and that fixed the issue

I just released a new version and it has a fix for the latest version of yt-dlp.
