Debug session returns `false` on everything, then errors out.

[Montana]

Hey all,

So I'll run scdl, more specifically this command:

scdl -l (track link)

I've also ran a debug session this is what I've got in return:

One thing I can think of is plausibly my Python version is not compatible with this version of scdl any suggestions would be wonderufl.

Cheers, Montana

Looks like its using an old version of soundcloud-v2. What version of scdl do you have, and where did you install it from?

[Montana]

I ran upgraded soundcloud-v2 with pip, still getting same error. I'm using v2.7.3 for scdl.

The latest version of scdl is 2.11.1, can you try the latest version?

[Montana]

This was solved by actually having to remove the binary in /bin, so had to run rm -rf scdl, for some reason pip uninstall scdl wasn't doing it. I then ran pip install scdl and grabbed latest version, now it works perfectly. Thanks for the help @7x11x13 I truly appreciate it more than you know!

Sounds like an issue with having multiple versions of Python installed on your system, maybe
