No. I'm not using a proxy. I do have a dual wan load balancing edgerouter set up. I can try disabling one of the wan's but I'm not sure if that will help. Can you explain to me on how to do a debug log???

As a general advice, when you want to see logs of GUI applications, you usually launch them from the command line.

In my case, I do:

cd %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-music
".\YouTube Music.exe"

You just locate where the executable of Youtube Music is, and launch it like I did

Ah ok. I thought there was something else you had to do. I didn't realize all I needed to do was run it from cli. I'm not able to test this right now, but should be able to in a few hours. I'll post the output once I get a chance

Same problem here too! When downloading my Liked Songs playlist, once it hits around 250 songs, the program crashes without any notice but shows up on the logs.

Trying to continue downloading the songs on where it stopped results in an error message like above at first, but then when I restart the program it works again. Very weird.

@JellyBrick Slightly different error this time after compiling from source, happens on both .mp3 and Source preset.

Also noticed that this message shows up when I select the .mp3 preset.

OK, so I decided to try and disable wan2 of my dual wan setup. The Problem immediately went away. I was able to download 20 songs in my liked music, with 0 problems. I reenabled wan2, ran the same test, and sure enough about 6 songs into downloading the error came back... @JellyBrick is there any way to get this working with a dual wan setup? I know dual wan is not a common thing in most homes, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could figure it out

ah, very interesting. I forgot to mention, the wan2 on my router is using starlink, which is in turn using cgnat. now it all makes sense, since I'm using load balancing some packets go through my local isp cable provider, and some go through starlink. In my test, i tried disabling wan2, aka starlink. I'll try disabling wan1, aka my local ISP cable provider tomorrow, and see if downloading works though starlink only. If that's the case, then it's not a dual wan issue, but a issue with CGnat. I'll test tomorrow and report back.

Youtube music 1.2 used to be my work around, but now I'm getting this same error on any versions on any of my laptops this is really vexing TwT

Now if I try to download an album t'l say error: playlist is empty

When I try making a playlist, some, albeit very little songs will download, for the rest this error'll always pop out

This also happens on the latest version. At the first try of downloading a song, it will throw an error with net::ERR_FAILED. Repeating the download will succeed afterwards.

Using getNetFetchAsFetch causes the error. Using native fetch (leaving it empty) does not cause an error on my end.

@JellyBrick is there any drawback of not using net fetch for the downloader plugin?

I hoped for something that would be able to download entire playlist for later use in offline but, while downloading songs one by one works fine, downloading playlist fails with a number of error popup windows like below:

Trying to start the download of the playlist again I got "Folder already exists" error - and indeed I found it among youtube-music files instead in my Downloads folder, but it's incomplete - only wo songs were fetched out of 13...
What's wrong? Hot to fix it?

Just tried it today and I also experience issues on windows 11

• Music is downloaded in the download folder instead of the specified folder
• Single songs are downloaded but sometimes need multiple attempts to actualy download. Perhaps add a log for failed downloads in the download folder?
• Multiple songs like albums are not downloaded at all

Perhaps an idea to add support for synchronizing the full library automaticly with the downloads folder?
