Description

I'm using a batch script to download new podcast episodes from soundcloud (e.g. this channel: https://soundcloud.com/love-to-sew-podcast) and since yesterday, it does not work any more. It does not matter if I choose single episodes or the whole channel, it does not work. I of course tried other Soundcloud channels/files/links, but none of them are working right now.

I'd love to know why this has been closed?

@Wurzelmann Apparently they fixed it in a version that has not been released yet. Which is weird, because they did release a version long after closing this report.
