[BUG] JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Describe the bug

So yesterday the program worked with no problems, but strangely enough it for some reason started giving me errors when I tried to download 1 song from Deezer, so I tried reinstalling it, didn't work, then I completely reinstalled Python and PIP, still no luck. I have yet to find out what suddenly caused it, I did have my Deezer ARL configured in the config, and have tried resetting the config with 'rip config --reset'.

Command Used

rip url --max-quality 2 https://deezer.page.link/DBDSk4PBxTCdhWXf7

I did notice that in the config file it says "version: 1.9.2" for some reason, it even does that after reinstalling it.
