..I'm sorry how do you get the log in Windows? Is there a log file stored somewhere? Because no log shown, nor I can find the log file. And looking at the Event Viewer doesn't show up.

This has been an issue for a while, as YouTube changed the way brand accounts work through the API shortly after I implemented this feature. Not sure if I'll ever get around to fix this, but who knows.

To get the logs I assume you could just run the program in a terminal, there's no external output/storage. If that doesn't work I don't know, I don't really use Windows.

I suggest writing the log into a file, usually saved inside %localappdata%, %appdata%, or the root of the program folder. Logging in Windows program usually goes three ways:

1. Make one log file, but when the program reopens, the old log gets cleared.
2. Make a new one each time the program runs, differentiated with timestamp (for example. spmp_2025_01_09_13_30.log), tough this is not that common since it can basically fills up space if kept too long
3. Save logs in Event Viewer, though this is rare on small project.

Right now I have trouble on getting the logs from the Discord feature because Windows doesn't support copying notification content to clipboard.

Discord status isn't supported on Windows (I should disable the feature, I know). Unfortunately Windows is the lowest priority on a three-platform project (and it's the only one I don't use) so I there's a lot that doesn't get tested/implemented at the moment.

Currently having the same issue. I have nothing on my personal account unfortunately. I have my 2600+ Liked Playlist on my brand account, and it would be a pain to transfer over

I'm having a similar issue on Android. Currently trying a manual configuration approach but no luck so far.

I tried the same thing on desktop, but to no avail. It could just be that whatever backend/API the apps are using is just bugged??
