ValueError: Failed to get link from Spotify playlist URI

Ripping playlist URIs doesn't seem to work for me:

Exception in thread SpotifyRipperThread:

ah okey I found it works if I replace
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/
with
spotify:user:username:playlist:

I have already implemented a function to convert the URL to the uri, but I may have missed the fact that for playlists there is a "user" part.
Thanks for raising. For now please use the uri

It's a bit odd. In 2018 spotify changed the uris to the shorter uris not including the username. But pyspotify still seems to work with the old links. That's a problem.

Only supports the case to move completely from pyspotify to spotipy.
