I been having the same issue since the last update

This is irritating because it only happens with some installations, using the exact same tidal-dl version and config file that works on other Windows and Linux systems, across various versions of Python.

The issue is that the content URL is being improperly decoded (specifically here, hyphens) and you see stuff like this: Signature=‾TSpMHqYk2eYczO‾-0Li‾k5H‾‾cg etc when you should see this: Signature=4h-lFi2hpiApYALiG8ZB-Ng-~Nbtf9Ln9I7csrxZsPo3jxkb8eD91frBwhUrgREkzfSi6MVkki- etc

Why? Because it's quality open source, of course: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44203397/python-requests-get-returns-improperly-decoded-text-instead-of-utf-8

The Fix

To fix, edit tidal-dl.py, and change this:

136    def __getResolutionList__(self, url):
137        ret = []
138        txt = requests.get(url).text

to this:

136    def __getResolutionList__(self, url):
137        ret = []
138        txt = requests.get(url).content.decode('utf-8')

Just ran into this issue on alpine linux, seems like the fix was never implemented into tidal-dl???

So after finding this, I was able to replicate the fix locally. Wrote a PR to push it upstream...
