Playlist - Unauthorized for url about tidalgrabber

[superdima05]

You tried to download using VPN? Or you created an account with VPN?

[bascurtiz]

Account created with VPN.
No VPN running when using your script.

[superdima05]

Ok, can you give playlist id? Because I tried download single track, and it downloaded

[superdima05]

My TIDAL Account was created using UK VPN

[bascurtiz]

https://listen.tidal.com/playlist/4ee0563e-3d8f-4a42-bc3e-5a2e6e3efaa7

[bascurtiz]

Ok that's weird, it's grayed out in the playlist for me.
When sharing the link of the track https://tidal.com/track/1442725, i can play it.

[superdima05]

I can play it, and script can download it.

[superdima05]

Try to use VPN

[bascurtiz]

Playlist is made with Dutch account.
Will try to create/clone playlist on same UK account.

[bascurtiz]

[superdima05]

OK, try

I used Python 2 version, but I think Python 3 version will work

[bascurtiz]

Will try VPN set to UK aswell.

[bascurtiz]

Weird.

[superdima05]

Do you have Russia VPN? Because, I am in Russia, and can play this track normally.

[superdima05]

Can you play this track from album? Not from playlist.

[bascurtiz]

Dinner time. Be right back =)

[superdima05]

OK.

[bascurtiz]

I can only play the 1st 30 seconds or preview.
When searching up the track using search in Tidl's webplayer, it doesn't show the track.
So yes, it's region-block.

When I imported the original playlist url with soundiiz and converted it to my UK account,
It's not 295 tracks, but 262 tracks. So it filters out the region-blocked ones, I bet.
https://listen.tidal.com/playlist/a015e869-07e9-4cbd-8052-eecafe412140

Will try VPN set to Russia for complete picture.

[superdima05]

If it region-block, I can't fix it on script-side.

[superdima05]

I will try this track in different countries.

[bascurtiz]

Windscribe + Tunnelbear not supporting Russia VPN in free version.

Solution 1: user should delete the grayed out tracks from playlist, before using your script.
Solution 2: catch the error with your script, and continue.

[bascurtiz]

I encountered this using playlist https://listen.tidal.com/playlist/a015e869-07e9-4cbd-8052-eecafe412140

[superdima05]

This script can download only HI-FI tracks, this track "Movin Too Fast" isn't in Flac format, it in mp3.
You can see it in the url. The url contains ".m4a"

[superdima05]

I can add check. If track in FLAC

[bascurtiz]

That would be great!
Otherwise, user has to first review which tracks are Hi-Fi: not ideal.

[superdima05]

Ok, I will add this. But now I am trying to download this track using VPN

[superdima05]

I can download this track using VPN. I tested 5 countries

[superdima05]

Can you give me track id?

[bascurtiz]

https://gyazo.com/f23aa3000a2ea6020145a851d1787361
https://tidal.com/browse/track/1442725

[superdima05]

I did the checks, I will check it and upload.

[superdima05]

Try now

[bascurtiz]

https://gyazo.com/c6d15c9df6e7233055ac150c5a463ae4

So far So good^

[bascurtiz]

There's ''Movin' Too Fast''

[bascurtiz]

Ouch...

[superdima05]

I am going to fix it 👍

[superdima05]

Can you download this track in browser, by direct link?

[superdima05]

I updated python3 branch, please check it

[bascurtiz]

ok

[bascurtiz]

[bascurtiz]

Will try to d/l that track on its own now.

[superdima05]

I understood, maybe the problem with character "?"

[superdima05]

What do you think about that?

[superdima05]

Try to download this track, without playlist. ID of this track is "5917380"

[bascurtiz]

ok

[bascurtiz]

Same error.
It's defo a character thingie.
U know, UTF-8 vs. ANSI, something.
I can try on Mac, like u, to doublecheck?

[superdima05]

I was trying on Mac, and it can be download

[superdima05]

You can change one line

[bascurtiz]

oh ok, shoot.
installing Python at mac in between.

[superdima05]

Try to change this line name = translit(""+track.name, "ru", reversed=True) to name = translit(""+track.name, "ru", reversed=True).replace("?", "")

[bascurtiz]

Works with above change!

[bascurtiz]

Will try to d/l playlist again, to see if there's no limitation.

[superdima05]

ok

[bascurtiz]

Still going on strong on Windows/Playlist.

Never mind lol. NEVER use Texteditor on a .py file =)

[bascurtiz]

Prolly the " thingie?

[superdima05]

I know how to fix it

[superdima05]

I will update script after 10 minutes

[superdima05]

Yes, I only use Sublime Text 3 on Mac

[superdima05]

I fixed it, try the new version of script.

[bascurtiz]

ok

[bascurtiz]

'music/Teardrops Lovestation Classic 12" Mix.flac'
fails again.
Copy/paste that " thingie from above, so u have the right character?

[bascurtiz]

I see the difficulty: .replace(""", "") is refused;
SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal
So u used .replace(")", "") instead, but doesn't catch it off, so it seems.

[superdima05]

Ok, I will fix it later. Because now in Russia 01:21 am. And I want to sleep.

[bascurtiz]

Is ok bro, thanks for helping me out!
Good night.

[superdima05]

Good night too

[bascurtiz]

adding .replace('"', "")
...does the trick!

[bascurtiz]

Playlist complete 👍
Will try more playlists tomorrow.
