Linux code blowing the same errors, on the same line numbers with the exception of the first line, is Line 8, not Line 7.

Seems Soundcloud made a change.

i'm also getting the same error ); really sad this broke because it was a really useful tool and it doesn't seem to have any active maintainers. i'd try and fix it myself but i would probably make it worse lol.

this works well in the meantime though:

yt-dlp --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail https://soundcloud.com/artist/song

The only caveat is that if it downloads the original file it won't autoconvert it to flac, so it will just fail to add the thumbnail if the original file is a wav or aiff file. definitely not perfect but it's better than nothing!

Upon closer inspection i think this is a problem with the soundcloud library for python and not scdl itself? idk

Should be fixed in v2.7.4

soundcloud seems to have removed the recent-tracks endpoint (RIP tag watching) which I was using to validate the client_id. I changed the validation method to just fetch some track instead.

Amazing - thanks so much for fixing it so quickly!
