download failing on homebrew + music cutting off

[haepudu]

hi! i have a macbook pro on sequoia 15.7. i decided to uninstall youtube music because as i selected a song, it decided to play silence instead of the actual song.

so, as someone who has no idea how to code, i looked on here to how to uninstall and used brew uninstall --cask youtube-music brew untap th-ch/youtube-music as well as brew uninstall --force th-ch/youtube-music/youtube-music

i wanted to see if i could redownload it to get it to start up again as normal. so i went here again and used brew install --cask th-ch/youtube-music/youtube-music

but, as it tried to download, i got this message:

==> Downloading https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/releases/download/https:/ curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 404

Error: Download failed on Cask 'youtube-music' with message: Download failed: https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/releases/download/https://github.com/ytmd-devs/ytmd/releases/latest/YouTube-Music-https://github.com/ytmd-devs/ytmd/releases/latest-arm64.dmg

does someone know why that is? i tried downloading multiple times and clearing off files, but it still wouldn't download :(. i tried looking everywhere to fix my problem but no results came up and now im stuck here. if you can help it'll be very appreciated! i love this app and i want it back.

This problem still persists. I am pretty sure it's due to YT Music from th-ch being renamed to pear-devs/pear-desktop, but no clue how to solve this...

Edit: you can edit the Cask yourself via brew edit th-ch/youtube-music/youtube-music. An editor with the youtube-music.rb should pop up. Then replace the following:

...
-  homepage "https://github.com/ytmd-devs/ytmd"
+  homepage "https://github.com/pear-devs/pear-desktop/"
...
-  release_url = "https://github.com/ytmd-devs/ytmd"
+  release_url = "https://github.com/pear-devs/pear-desktop/"
...

Remove the red lines and replace them with the green ones.

Now use e.g. brew upgrade youtube-music or brew install youtube-music. Worked for me.

$ brew install youtube-music                                                                                                      ✭ ✱
