when I type in yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -f bestaudio -o “%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s” “YOUR_PLAYLIST_URL” I get an error message saying youtube music not supported and then it switches over to Youtube to get the playlist I give access to my cookies so it can download e playlist but then I get error messages while it tries to download the playlist and nothing gets downloaded.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: it’s youtube music that’s the problem. I can download from youtube proper, but the problem is that songs that have a music video are substituted instead of the song file itself.
EDIT: I think I will just transfer my liked playlist to another playlist and download that.


I cannot download anything via yt-dlp for a couple days too. Probably Google’s shenanigans. yt-dlp got an update regarding this and it might not have hit your distro’s repo yet. Shouldn’t take long.
Ya I’ve seen a suspicious lapse in archivals on my system, figured something was up but usually only need to wait a week or two
This is why you shouldn’t use the distro package version. Use pip.
I’ve used both and still nothing
