Other details

I have already issued a fix for that in #2175. However, I still need to work on it because the web app doesn't use caching yet. It updates and downloads from the repository every time.

For now, you can download the required files from this link. Please download the favicon assets folder and the index.html file, then place them in:

C:\Users\santi.spotdl\web-ui\dist\ (you will need to create the dist folder since it doesn't exist)

I have the same issue too on my arm mac, and intel mac.
