Error message

playlist_url

What it means

ximalaya_download_page accepts only playlist URLs shaped http://www.ximalaya.com/<uid>/album/<id> (plain http, www, numeric uid). Any other form — https, mobile host, or a sound page — raises NotImplementedError(playlist_url) with the raw URL as the message.

Solutions

1. Normalize the URL to http://www.ximalaya.com/<uid>/album/<id> before calling
2. Or update the regex to r'https?://(?:www\.|m\.)?ximalaya\.com/(?:\d+/)?album/(\d+)'
3. Prefer ximalaya_download_playlist, the public entry point, which handles paging on top of the same pattern

Example fix

# before
if re.match(r'http://www\.ximalaya\.com/(\d+)/album/(\d+)', playlist_url):
    ...
else:
    raise NotImplementedError(playlist_url)

# after
if re.match(r'https?://(?:www\.|m\.)?ximalaya\.com/(?:\d+/)?album/(\d+)', playlist_url):
    ...
else:
    raise NotImplementedError(playlist_url)

import re

def ximalaya_album_url_supported(url):
    return re.match(r'http://www\.ximalaya\.com/\d+/album/\d+', url) is not None

try:
    ximalaya_download_page(url, ...)
except NotImplementedError:
    print('normalize to http://www.ximalaya.com/<uid>/album/<id>')

When it happens

Trigger: Calling ximalaya_download_page with 'https://www.ximalaya.com/album/123' or 'http://m.ximalaya.com/123/album/456'; both fail re.match at src/you_get/extractors/ximalaya.py:70 and hit the else raise.

Common situations: Copying album links from browsers (https) or the mobile app; passing a single-sound URL where an album URL is required; site path redesign dropping the uid segment.
