[Bug Report] Failed to fetch metadata

[BBBreally]

Problem

Since the previous update, and also in the latest version, Spotify v7.1.3, I always get the same error message: "failed to fetch metadata" for any track.

Type

Track

Spotify URL

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/4TxBGpTxrNvRNhF39Dl3NQ?si=2822278ba3d949c1

Additional Context

I should clarify that my native language on Spotify is Spanish (MX).

For this reason, when checking the song links, I noticed that Spotify in Spanish uses the following format (example):

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/4TxBGpTxrNvRNhF39Dl3NQ?si=2822278ba3d949c1
The error message I get is: "failed to fetch metadata".

However, if I remove part of the link, specifically "intl-es/", it works normally, without the error message. Something similar happened in previous versions, but it was fixed, and now the problem has returned. It temporarily works fine by removing that part of the link.

I just want to point out that in the Spotidownloader 7.0.8 application, copying the Spotify link doesn't produce any error message, regardless of my Spotify native language.

SpotiFLAC Version

Hi, I always have SpotFetch API disabled. This option doesn't work for me. Unfortunately, it only works the way I mentioned, but what's most striking is that its sister app, Spotidownloader, doesn't have this problem.

Sometimes Spotiflac fails to download a song, but after trying several times it sometimes works.

Also, changing the assigned country (using Canada, France, or the US, for example) through the option next to the Fetch button has allowed me to download the song.

When none of the above works, I've been able to download it by searching for the song through Spotiflac instead of following the Spotify link.

There have been times when Spotidownloader can download a song that Spotiflac can't. Regards

Just tried your recco about SpotiDownloader and disabled SpotFetch API there, too. I chose FLAC as preferred format.

Indeed, I was able to download a couple of songs which previously failed with SpotiFlac (found meta data but could not download).

However:

1. from out of about 35-45% of the songs, SpotiDownloader downloaded a total different song!
2. most songs in FLAC format were not actually lossless but disguised 320kbps files

So, not really much to gain in using SpotiDownloader.
