The strange part is that it’s not consistent across songs. A few tracks download just fine, but most of them fail with the error:

Error: y[...] is not a function in {song name}

By pure trial and error (opening a playlist and testing each track), I managed to get two songs to download successfully. So there seems to be some kind of alternative code path that allows certain songs to download, but I can’t figure out why only a few work while most don’t. Could it be a difference in the API response?
I did note that when starting the download it said: infinite% or NaN% before normally starting at 0%

P.S.
I suspected it might be caused by an old config file, so I deleted mine and restarted the application. No luck. the issue persisted.

Yeah that's why I said sometimes because I can go to a playlist that has 177 songs and only get 6. Though about the infinite% and NaN% For me it just says Downloading then instantly fails.

Yeah this is most probably not a client-error, however if I'm not mistaken, I was receiving this error on 3.10.0 before updating to 3.11.0, not sure what the app does on the backend to initiate the download, but could be that something changed on some server probably...

Created an account to write what I've seen, but do believe YTM have done something on their side, as there is noise from other projects with the same issue.

My laptop (Slackware) was working fine (no errors at all), but today when I booted my desktop (Slackware) I started to get the error on the desktop only. Tried to look to see what the difference between the two was, but not much luck, then stupidly I let battery go flat on the laptop.

Reboot in to Windows 11 on the laptop, fire up the software (think 3.7 ver as I hardly use Windows) and it gave errors too , but not the y[...] one, upgrade to 3.11 and now get the y[..] error.

EDIT - a Red Herring, had the desktop version pointing to the wrong folder so it was trying to download all songs. any download gives the error.

Reboot the laptop to Linux (Slackware) which I'm on now and 3.11 is working-ish, desktop (Slackware) 3.11 still giving errors? I say working-ish as on the laptop is only gives the error if its tries to download a song that is not already saved, where-as the desktop gives the error for new and existing songs.

The issue is the same for downloading individual songs, playlist and automatic downloads.
The build of my laptop and desktop in Slackware is pretty much the same, but there could be subtle difference that I am not noticing.
I think If I had not had to restart my laptop it would have continued to work without issues.

I'm getting the following error when downloading a song using the Download plugin: "y[...] is not a function (song name)". I installed the "YouTube-Music-3.11.0.AppImage" package on Ubuntu Linux. But now, even downgrading to older versions like 3.10.0 or 3.9.0 doesn't work anymore.

That's why I didn't put a last known working version. Since once updated it stops working.

In the previous versions downloading worked sometimes, on average you had to click download 1-3 times.
Now it never works and retrying doesn't help anymore.

I would like to add that I can use yt-dlp perfectly fine, so for the time being, I created a yt-dlp bash script where I can just pass the URL of the song and everything works great, maybe even faster than this app's downloader...

If you use Windows portable try deleting YouTube Music folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\YouTube Music to clear any previously configuration. Did the trick for me.

If I'm correct that's where it downloads to so this solution might work not just on portable.

If your on Linux for me it's usually ~/config (/home/config) I believe.

The issue is the same for downloading individual songs, playlist and automatic downloads. The build of my laptop and desktop in Slackware is pretty much the same, but there could be subtle difference that I am not noticing. I think If I had not had to restart my laptop it would have continued to work without issues. > > I would like to add that I can use yt-dlp perfectly fine, so for the time being, I created a yt-dlp bash script where I can just pass the URL of the song and everything works great, maybe even faster than this app's downloader... Thank for mentioning the tool. Amazing sound quality with proper settings!

If you use Windows portable try deleting YouTube Music folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\YouTube Music to clear any previously configuration. Did the trick for me.

didnt know what previous configurations in the folder so i deleted them all

I didn't touch anything during the period when it wasn't working, and now it's finally working fine.

Is there a way to download the opus file from the app? Does anyone know?

If I'm correct that's where it downloads to so this solution might work not just on portable.

If your on Linux for me it's usually ~/config (/home/config) I believe.

Recent Ubuntu : ~/home/.var/app/app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop/
I delete all in the folder and now it's work !!

Thanks for this, back to how it was was, downloading without issue.

On Slackware I renamed ~/.config/YouTube Music to ~/.config/@YouTube Music and restarted the software, after re configuring the options I wanted and restarting a second time it is now working. I'll test the desktop when I get home at the end of the week.

Now I have the old 'broken' folder contents and the new 'working' folder I have been looking as to what broke, but so far have not seen anything of major difference, but not sure what I should be looking for either.
