Additional Information

I tried a custom option on the downloader but was introduced with a download button that did nothing no matter how many times i clicked
I tried Override User-Agent didn't work even after system restarts
I tried uninstalling and all the files associated to the program and did a full clean install still didn't work with the web.exe
I tried the portable version as well same issue persisted
I tried different type of songs (Short and long songs)
I tried disabling API Server [Beta] and the download button turned into a button that did nothing.
I tried re-enabling API Server [Beta] and the download button worked again but still caused an error when I tried downloading music
This issue is annoying and i've seen a bunch of people have this problem i tried following their steps in fixing the issue and yet it still persists.
I don't have enough knowledge about code to know what to look for when it comes to problems so if ill be given any feedback please dumb it down for me because im not familiar with most terms y'all would use.

Same here

[arzezio7]

Same goes here with 3.7.2.0 :(

[H8ted666]

Don't fret, it will be ignored, and vague instructions on how you didn't format your question properly issued.

[kmac]

Just a note: Reverting to 3.7.1.0 fixes the issue (for me)

[JellyBrick]

Same here

Excepted behavior. "Mixed for you" is not accessible using the YouTube API because it is a "YouTube mix" (not a playlist).

[stoicpenguin2234]

i worked my way all the way back to 3.5.3 and got errors every time I tried to download a song

[kmac]

To clarify, I have a subscription. Probably relevant.

I'm relatively new to this app - is there a good way to see logs? I've looked through the documentation but don't see a recommended way to find debugging information.

[ArjixWasTaken]

The logs are not stored to a file, you'd have to launch youtube music from a terminal in order to see them.
And those logs will only contain the backend logs, you must open the chrome dev tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) to access the console and see the renderer logs as well.

Somewhat related, but this only happens in development. There is a problem with the current implementation of setting up PO Tokens.

That results to downloader button not working entirely:

[Macflylegamer]

Could someone please fix this? I really need the downloader, it's rly usefull for me... Thanks

[SpacerZVEVO]

Downloading a +55 public playlist results in only 3 successful downloads in mp3 mode. Failed downloads display the same error as described above. Tried on both 3.7.2 & 3.7.1 with the same results.

[MochiVN634]

For me, it's even worse. I click on 'Download,' and nothing happens at all. I've already checked the chosen download folder, and it's empty.
