I'm using yt-dlp directly in command prompt with python the help of AI. I'm a super beginner and been using AI to get things working. I have YouTube Premium and downloaded music SUCCESSFULLY and was pretty happy but realized I gave it bad instructions. It was downloading m4as and converting to mp3 and defaulted to a low "18" bitrate instead of a higher 141 or 251 bitrate download. Lesson learned, like it said I'm a beginner, Redid the code, gave it more detailed instructions and what I learned along the way... finally got it downloading high quality audio but when I enter a playlist of songs I entered previously, it seems to want to change the link and download the music video version instead. AIs only answer was stronger filters for those words and using "topic" as a search but that's a band-aid way of doing it and I'm still ending up with video versions. AI says YouTube is doing it. That when I put a link with "RD" (Radio/Algorithmic) in it, that YouTube will change to the video and that I need "OL" (Official Label) links. But the RD playlist link is full of OD links! I would have to give it each song individually from the RD link. So AI "flattened out" the playlist into a list but even that gave the same issue. This is an example of one I'm trying to pull. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy\_lQi-t2mN-swhdhGPOg4h4Zw-P5KzdwUSM&playnext=1&si=ftAEBoJn8mWyZ4eu
Notice the RDCLACK, but the songs in there are OL links to the song directly on the album. THIS is the issue in running into. Telling the code to see that OL link so I don't have to enter 100s of OL links. Tried thinking my way out the box by asking another chat but I only became more confused and now I'm not downloading the meta data the same and it's naming the files incorrectly. 😐 I had a solid process using multiple py scripts but when I combined them and upped the bitrate, I stopped being able to get the version I wanted. But I broke all that to get to where I am. Again... Beginner. Lol... I'm so close! Anyone run into this issue?
