bug description

Cobalt has issues downloading songs and says it couldn't find any media with direct soundcloud links. It isn't ALL songs so the issue may be hard to find the root cause but here's one example. Link used is Make You Fight, by Chris Lake and ATRIP:

This was only an issue until recently for me. More than half of the soundcloud links I've tried in the past 24 hours return the same error.

reproduction steps

  1. Go to a song on soundcloud
  2. Copy and paste into cobalt.tools to download
  3. See "couldn't find media..." error
