Spotify-downloader: song downloading only in its MP4 version and with empty mp3 file

[marinabar]

Hello!
So I'm facing this very unusual issue, where when I enter a song to download, spotdl is finding it, and when it gets to 95% of the download this error appears
95%|███████████████████████████████████████████████▌ |ETA: 00:00, 0.06min/songNo song named "Modern Fears - Electric Youth" could be found on spotify
When I then go to the download location, there is a Temp folder with a mp4 file of the right song (no video, just mp4 format) and two other file : one empty mp3 file (literally 0 oct) and a file with a .spotdlTrackingfile extension

Is anyone else is having this issue?

I ran into that problem. I removed spotdl and uninstalled all python versions (I had a few). Reinstalled and set up everything again with latest version of Python. All seems well now. If you run into errors try updating pytube.

pip install git+https://github.com/nficano/pytube.git
