Failed to fetch recording file: ${response.status} ${respons

Error message

Failed to fetch recording file: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}

What it means

A fetch-layer guard in the electron renderer: after an IPC attempt to read a recording file fails (logged, then falls back), the HTTP fetch of fileUrl returned a non-ok HTTP status. It fires when the recording asset cannot be retrieved over HTTP in the renderer — the interpolated numbers are the HTTP status code and status text of the failed response.

Solutions

1. Check the HTTP status and status text in the message to diagnose the fetch failure.
2. Verify the recording file URL is correct and the user is authorized to download it.
3. Retry the download; for persistent failures check network and server availability.
