@hypercyanate Maybe related to python-soundcloud-v2 dependency?

It should be installed.

I get the following error while trying to run spotdl

$ spotdl url

@aminvakil Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
My environment was tainted with leftover $PATH in both ~/.bash_profile & ~/.bashrc.
The modifications were created by pipx.

@scenkner This package and any other AUR package which has followed guidelines, installs app in /usr/bin and do not mess with /home .

There is something else wrong in your environment which tries to load spotdl from /home/my_user_name/.local/bin/spotdl.

Maybe you have tried to install it using other way and have not cleaned up after?

I'm getting a similar output as TheTimBrick:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/my_user_name/.local/bin/spotdl", line 5, in <module>
from spotdl import console_entry_point
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spotdl'

I've tried rebuilding both python-spotipy and python-spotdl however the response is the same.
I've installed rebuild-detector and upon running checkrebuild, nothing python or spotdl related are listed.
Note that I am on python 3.13.1-1.

Will get back to the VCR patch soon(TM), but in the meantime, note that given that we're not building with the python-setuptools backend, the python-wheel makedep is unnecessary.

test_matching keeps throwing HTTP 429 errors -- this is known upstream1. I wrote a PR to use mock results from the Spotify API instead to avoid the rate-limiting, I'm still testing it to make sure it works, but hopefully it'll work soon3.

(EDIT: The situation is still problematic even after my PR, and in fact several other tests are failing for me as well. Reported upstream4.)

(EDIT 2024-07-07: I need to drop the PR for the moment -- work is ramping up. So far, I've managed to reduce the failures somewhat, tests need to be run with -k 'not test_config' -m 'not novcr' to skip the known-broken tests)

In diagnosing this, found the dependencies needed to be updated, below is a patch to bring them up to date (omitted are my edits to the PKGBUILD to apply my patches):

@DodoLeDev thanks for the report, I backported the fix into PKGBUILD in commit f0efe44bbdb7

Because of spotDL/spotify-downloader#2119, spotDL is currently unusable as-is, throwing this error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'is_lrc_valid' from 'syncedlyrics.utils' (/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/syncedlyrics/utils.py)

A PR is waiting for approval in order to fix this issue.

If, like me, you don't want to wait, edit the PKGBUILD as follows:
