Could we consider implementing an automatic retry feature?

[Bossburnz]

Feature Description

It would be highly beneficial to implement an automatic retry feature for downloads that fail. I often download large playlists, and I encounter issues when the downloads fail, requiring me to manually click the retry option.

Justification

It would be beneficial to enhance the application to ensure that it continues to attempt downloads until they are successful.

Additional Information

Do you mean requeue all failed items after say 15 minutes (or a set amount of time)?

Ahh yes that's what I want

[justin025]

It shouldn't be that hard to write but just so you're aware other users have said that setting download delay to 35 seconds results in no failed downloads. I'll let you know when I get to this feature, thanks for the suggestion.

I get failed downloads even with 35 seconds delay.

[justin025]

@soredake rate limits are a case by case basis that I cannot really look into as they are on spotify's side, perhaps increasing the number or rotating accounts could help with downloads. Are you also looking for the automatic retry feature aswell?

Yes.

I agree with this thread. Automatic Retry X Times every X minutes.

That way we can set a massive playlist to run and it will retry failed tracks every 30 minutes to an hour for overnight stuff.

I would like to support this.
For me, OnTheSpot currently the only tool that works reliably for Spotify.
But the fact that you have to babysit it and manually have to click the Retry button again and again is a bit cumbersome. ;-)

I have a working implementation here, needs to be enabled and then restart the app. It should retry all failed items after _ minutes (default is 10 minutes). I tested it a bit and it seems to work, please let me know. https://github.com/justin025/onthespot/actions/runs/12508790472
