Error message

url

What it means

ximalaya_download only accepts URLs matching http://www.ximalaya.com/<uid>/sound/<id> exactly (plain http, with www). Anything else — https links, no-www, m.ximalaya.com mobile pages, or non-sound pages — falls to else and raises NotImplementedError(url), so the exception message is just the raw URL.

Solutions

1. Normalize the URL to http://www.ximalaya.com/<uid>/sound/<id> before calling
2. Or widen the regex to r'https?://(?:www\.|m\.)?ximalaya\.com/(\d+)/sound/(\d+)' (also allow the modern path without the numeric uid segment if needed)
3. For album links, call the playlist downloader instead of the single-track downloader

Example fix

# before
if re.match(r'http://www\.ximalaya\.com/(\d+)/sound/(\d+)', url):
    id = match1(url, r'http://www\.ximalaya\.com/\d+/sound/(\d+)')
else:
    raise NotImplementedError(url)

# after
if re.match(r'https?://(?:www\.|m\.)?ximalaya\.com/(?:\d+/)?sound/(\d+)', url):
    id = match1(url, r'sound/(\d+)')
else:
    raise NotImplementedError(url)

import re

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

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

When it happens

Trigger: Passing 'https://www.ximalaya.com/sound/123' or 'https://m.ximalaya.com/sound/123' (https and mobile hosts fail re.match(r'http://www\.ximalaya\.com/(\d+)/sound/(\d+)') at src/you_get/extractors/ximalaya.py:55).

Common situations: Every modern share link is https, so this fires constantly on copy-pasted URLs; mobile app share links using the m. subdomain; album links (which belong to ximalaya_download_playlist).
