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.


You didn’t give us much information to go on, but you should probably start by getting the most up to date version of yt-dlp. Also, I believe some time ago that it became a requirement to run another service in other to get youtube content… EJS it’s called.
