Have used scdl flawlessly before but now seem to be getting 401 client error. Saw this was a similar issue in the Soundcloud Downloader that is part of Youtube DL here on GitHub. Someone was able to resolve the error, but I was unable to replicate the update they pushed when trying to fix scdl. Here is my console output below.

I've tried downloading using the single and all-songs method to download. The song title is "ｊｕｎｇｌｅ" not jungle and I guess it's having trouble encoding those characters. I've read somewhere on overstock that python can use the latin-1 charmap? since it has most if not all of the characters? I've taken for understanding that it has more characters than UTF-8.

tried for a couple hours swithcing locale to en_us ft8 but didint work.... Any suggestions?

Just reposting my issue here since OP closed his issue that I posted this in that was relevant to his.

When attempting to download a song i'm presented with this error.

I was using the latest version of scdl, and have uninstalled it and re-installed it twice:

pip3 uninstall scdl
pip3 install git+https://github.com/flyingrub/scdl --upgrade

I used the install command but the programm won't install. Invalid syntax?

pip3 install scdl
// also tried
sudo pip3 install scdl

Seems soundcloud package fails while trying to fetch client-id, but auth-token and client-id are okey.

i have downloaded scdl a year ago and this bugs are showing only now. the music cover art is now giving some glitches and sometimes it didnt even downloads. only audio is perfectly fine now it look something like this:

Pretty significant issue with syncing currently, when songs are removed from the folder, only mp3s are kept. This means that all .wav and .flac files are removed, even if they shouldn't be.

Hi folks,

got a new error during download/update my lib:

I used these parameters:

      -l
      https://soundcloud.com/'user'
      -p
      --download-archive
      archiv.txt
      --no-original
      -c

Would be really thankful for help.

I have gone through every possible use case scenario, and any that includes downloading as MP3 (even when using --original-art argument) will not result in the cover art being added to the MP3 file. A cover art will only be present when downloading as m4a, which is not the expected behavior. MP3 files have ID3 tags that support cover art, but this feature appears not to be implemented at all. I feel as though this is a necessary feature that warrants some form of implementation given how long this project has been in development.
