Description

I've tried moving the path of the spotify-downloader to C:\ from my desktop to have an absolute path to run the script. And tried installing the dependencies via cmd. Re-Installed Python 3.6.4 (64 bit) this time arround 😥. Restarted my PC tried installing the dependencies with cmd in Administrator mode.

Sorry, but I don't understand a word... what's the actual problem? Moving the spotify-downloader folder around has nothing to do with the installed dependencies, that's just two different things. So, please show us what you've tried :wink:, what issues you're facing and provide all possible output or errors

formatted as
code blocks

And describe what's not working for you, otherwise we won't able to help. And please update the title to something more meaningful.

[klosteinmann]

I can't run the script to download any songs.

I wrote that for a purpose...

So, please show us what you've tried 😉, what issues you're facing and provide all possible output or errors

I don't really know how to output the log to be honest. It says add that to the script which script the spotdl.py and how? EDIT with Idle and then just paste thoose commands down in the last line of code?

Select, copy, paste to GitHub editor, select again, press the <> button. TBH I wish you would put a little more effort into this whole thing, I'm not willed wasting my time asking all this information together. Even though we are happy to help.

I'm sorry I'm kinda new to github to begin with so sorry if I'm annoyning. Hopefully this can help resolving the issue as I'm also wanting to get started with this script.

import logzero
import logging

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

... removed for brevity ...

    except KeyboardInterrupt as e:
        log.exception(e)
        sys.exit(3)

--log-level=DEBUG

This is from the spotdl.py file. And yes I'm that stupid please don't give me up. I wanna get started with this as it sounds like a really helpful tool.

[linusg]

This is from the spotdl.py file.

Are you kidding me? This is not useful at all, I know this file as I wrote parts of it. It's available in the GitHub source tree, but anyways...

Read this first. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. Not wanna to sound rude, but this will take us nowhere like this. After you've read it, you might please open a console and follow the exact steps in the README for your OS (Windows). If there's anything not working, then paste the whole command line session (copying the text from the very beginning to the very end) here in a code block, then I or @ritiek will be able to help.

Otherwise it's like a guessing game.

[klosteinmann]

Okay here Is more information you may need. First of running Windows 10 Home 64 Bit Edition, the ffmpeg-20180111-7fcbebb-win64-static, the latest version of spotify-downloader-master.

And the cmd won't allow me to install the program in the first place as i get The unkown command
message.

[linusg]

Still not so useful information:

Please embed images, if any, directly in GitHub and provide the command line session as code formatted text, as you did with the script.

Great, thanks. Seems like you have the command pip not in your PATH, either you did not checked the tickbox saying so when installing Python or it's the pip3 command you will have to use. So, please try

pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt

If that doesn't work either, search the Internet for an explanation how to put the pip command in your PATH (e.g. "pip command not found windows") and try again.

[klosteinmann]

Thanks I really didn't check the tickbox. And seemed to ignored the installed in PATH statement inside of the Readme. I'm really sorry!

But it works great! I love it 😍

[linusg]

Yeah, no problem, great to see it works for you! Have fun!
