WSL - Invalid cross-device link about ytmdl HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @bassail Thanks for reporting the issue.

Are you able to access the ~/.cache/ytmdl/ directory from your terminal?? It seems like the issues is in moving the completed file from the .cache dir to the home directory.

Can you also tell me if you have put some specific directory on your config file or ytmdl is automatically moving to the default directory?

Found the log file under ~/.cache/ytmdl/

The mp3 files do exist under ~/.cache/ directory.

I have put a specific directory on my config file. I just ytmdl --setup again to get the default config file, and it works.
I tried again with my own directory, and it works. I don't know what I did wrong.

Thanks !

I think the issue was probably because you've set a Windows directory as the final directory and that's why Python wasn't able to move it.

Just found out what was not working.

On my second attempt, I have set the following SONG_DIR path, which works fine :

SONG_DIR = "/mnt/c/Users/Bastien/Music$Artist->Album->Title"

On my first attempt, the path was this one, which doesn't work :

SONG_DIR = "/mnt/c/Users/Bastien/Music$Artist->Album->[Title]"

and i get the error previously mentioned :

==> ERROR: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link: '/home/bastien/.cache/ytmdl/Bohemian Rhapsody.mp3' -> 'Bohemian Rhapsody.mp3'

I think the issue was with putting those square braces around the title, probably something went wrong with that.
