What do you mean with "youtube-dl" works? Is the Song in the end downloaded to the directory you selected in the settings? Does the directory you selected in the settings exist? Because this is the only thing I can imagine throwing such Kind of error..
downloading once worked but i got a .webp instead of .mp4 or .mp3 when i tried to update and reload the radio it would give me this error:
JS LOG: [LookingGlass/error] Failed to copy download from tmp dir. The following error occurred: Error: filename couldn't be determined.
And yes the file exists as it is in the download and i tried to create a new file changed the dir and it didnt work
Does it happens in some cases or always?
it always happened i first suspected it bcs of python i tried to re install everything it would get be the same error would i provide something that will be more useful? I am using Linux Mint
yeah no you are right I can reproduce it. This needs to be fixed. As a workaround you can use yt-dlp which you can select in the radio applet settings. and install by sudo su -c "bash <(wget -qO- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jonath92/039e998b3d3f6ba4afd5d5c671eaedf1/raw/23542a3aadadf5ba181fb8aff723c27610551abd/install-update-yt-dlp.sh)" root

I mean the MP3 is being created in a temp directory.
It's just not being moved to the destination directory.
Have not fired up the Linux machine in a while but will give it a go again asap.
Thank you Jonath92! I love how dedicated you are to the project and I hope one day i can do my own project. Thanks again!
You are more than welcome to contribute to the Code. When you have question, I am absolutely willed to help.
unfortunately my coding expertise is still minimal at this moment with the only languages i know are java and c++ but if you are interested in translating your applet to Arabic I am proficient in Arabic
For those having problems with youtube-dl, there's already a script to use yt-dlp here:
https://gist.github.com/jonath92/039e998b3d3f6ba4afd5d5c671eaedf1
Then right click Radio++ icon > Configure, go to Preferences tab and choose yt-dlp as the CLI tool.
Make sure the Download directory exists, I had to create the folder Radio or else it would fail.
Downloading with youtube-dl works but the log says the file can't be copied from tmp.
