playlist download

[ramonskie]

i'm using the nice ripper for a long time.
and since the beginning of this week it failed to download the playlists

i tried the export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID and secrets etc (creating my own credenials ofcourse.
got the latest spotipy-2.4.4
as the pip install/upgrade only install 2.0.5 for some reason.

but no luck so far. any other ideas?

[ramonskie]

each track still works.

so for my current workaround is select all the songs im my spotify playlist (in the spotify client)
the right click share>copy spotify uris
past that to a txt file and use that with spotify-ripper

Using the remove from playlist workaround does not seem to work for me.
Also, I have tried copying all URIs in a text file and use this: spotify-ripper --flat-with-index -l list_of_uris.txt
it starts downloading but after the first track it stops with the message below, no idea what that means though, if someone has a clue?

try using python 3.6.x

[oglomov]

Thanks, tried with 3.6.1 still no luck :(
On the other hand, I realized that I was skipping the "export" commands, so it seems that the remove from playlists actually works.

[tom-schaek]

i had the exact same problem where playlists wouldn't download and fixed it by doing:
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/SolidHal/spotify-ripper
After that i made a new app and keys here https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications and added them.

[tuxruffian]

I also had the same problem. I tried all of the sugestions above with no luck, but found I was able to resolve the issue by using a variant of tom-schaek's solution. Instead of using install --upgrade (which didn't work for me), I used install --force-reinstall.

Full command:

pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/SolidHal/spotify-ripper

Apparently re-installing each of the dependencies did the trick. I suspect it was either mutagen and/or the schedule python module(s).

[ramonskie]

unfortunately non of the reinstall options worked for me

[dstyp]

Seems to work for me but related question - how get redirect uri when running spotify-ripper on a headless remote server? :)

[elkenj]

@oglomov an exception is thrown because the script treats every URI it encounters as a playlist and tries to extract info from the URI that is not present.

As a workaround to the workaround, you can edit "/Users/XXXXXXXXXXX/.pyenv/versions/2.7.10/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spotify_ripper/remove_all_from_playlist.py" and change the remove_all_from_playlist function to:

def remove_all_from_playlist(username, playlistURI):
    pass

Frankly, I don't see why the ripper should empty any playlists anyway.

[cukabeka]

Well, same here. I use this on a mac and reinstalled. Now i get this message

You need to set your credentials. You can do this by
            setting environment variables like so:

            export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your-spotify-client-id'
            export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your-spotify-client-secret'
            export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='your-app-redirect-url'

2 issues here

• Unknown command 'export' - when I enter "export" in bash, the command is unknown
• What is SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI ?

I found in the Dashboard

Redirect URIs
https://example.com/callback/
White-listed addresses to redirect to after authentication success OR failure (e.g. http://mysite.com/callback/)

But I have no idea what to insert in the export command or in the dashboard (once the export command works ;) )

[ramonskie]

this project is dead so i suggest use the work arround i provided
#25 (comment)
or use this updated fork https://github.com/wolfmanx/spotify-ripper/tree/pr-collect

[cukabeka]

def remove_all_from_playlist(username, playlistURI):
    pass

But the actual path was
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotify_ripper/remove_all_from_playlist.py
I could not find that here in the thread before.

This helped me indeed. Thanks. So is the wolfmanx fork the most updated and working version of the spotify-ripper?
Actually, it could be possible to integrate the "Create text file from all URIs in Playlist" step into the script, too, right?

take a look at this simple gist in python to easily recover a file full of spotify uris from playlist
