Artist links dont fetch.
@afkarxyz commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
I tried it without any problems at all
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
Oh Strange, When i use an Artist link, i press the 'Fetch' button, i get a box asking abour timout (tried leaving it on 60 and also 0 and a few random numbers just incase)
When i click ok to that, i see a small green box in the bottom left of the window saying 'Metadata Fetched Succesfully' but nothing else appears atall. - Tried now on 2 Windows 11 PCs with the same behaviour.
@afkarxyz commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
can you send the link?
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
Tried a few, including the same artist thats in your screenshot.

Try using VPN, maybe your IP has a rate limit
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
Albums / Playlists ECT Still work fine, just Artist links doing this.
ill grab the laptop and try with vpn.. Are you testing on Win11?
is there much difference in what happens to fetch artist vs album?
no changes to your current build that might not be in the v6.1 release exe?
@afkarxyz commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
I also use Win 11, and I also downloaded it from release build, but it's strange that if you can fetch tracks/playlists etc., if you hit the limit you shouldn't be able to fetch them at all.
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
Laptop does the same, with or without VPN Connected. -My PCs are both on 25H2, Laptop on 24H2 (not that it should matter)
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
Ok, so Artist Link Works in a VM with Fresh install of Win 11 25H2
There must be something installed or some kind of config on all 3 of my machines thats causing a problem 🤔🫤 but wierd that its only on Artist links....
Should i just close this issue report or is it something you want to look into? ill help where i can
@afkarxyz commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
It is strange indeed. Once it has been built, you should not need anything else and it should run on a fresh Windows installation. What is even stranger is that if you can fetch anything other than the artist link, just leave it open. Perhaps there are others who have experienced the same thing. I cannot fix this because it runs without any problems on my end.
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2025):
No Worries. 👍
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2025):
It seems to be a Windows Update that once applied this problem occurs.
the same VM that was working a little while ago just restarted for windows update, after the restart im getting the exact same behaviour as the rest of my machines when using an artist link.
Updates that were installed;
KB5068861
KB5066131
KB5007651
KB890830
@KGeo101 commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2025):
Did a bit more messing around with this. uninstalling the updates didnt help, a fresh install of windows DID, but As soon as windows updates runs for the first time and windows restarts, the problem occures where Artist links just produce a blank page.
this seems to repoduce 100% of the time for me on any machine that is fully up to date.
i cant figure out what update is causing it as windows doesnt give you much choice over what updates run when and uninstalling literally ALL updates doesnt solve it
@iLazlow commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2025):
The problem I see here has to do with the si param in the url. If you have the "?si=" param inside it will not work since "/discography/all" is added which is an invalid url scheme. If you remove "?si=" with its value it works. This param has something to do with analytics on spotify side. It should be stripped from the program if you paste a link. It's working with album and Playlist because there is nothing added after the "?si=" param so it's not an invalid url.

@iLazlow You're right, thanks a lot
