Spotify problems #2

Closed Aiz0 closed 3 years ago

Aiz0 commented 4 years ago

For some reason unbeknownst to me the Spotify client can't connect to their servers and therefore I can't stream music. I can still login but can't do anything beyond that. I tried spotify-tui with spotifydand could successfully connect and stream music. However this caused some other problems.

  1. Spotify asked me to reset my password because they detected suspicious activity. This might be a one time thing but if it happens again this is not a viable solution.

  2. spotify-tui stores it's config files in ~/.config/spotify-tui. Since i store my config files in ~/etc instead of in ~/.config this is unnecessary clutter.

I am not yet sold on spotify-tui and could use something else if find something to replace it. That is if Spotify doesn't ask me to reset my password again.

Spotify problem most likely has something to do with that I'm using a VPN.

spotifyd seems to be working mostly great though. Giving up on spotify-tui at the moment since I can just use the spotify mobile app to select songs on.

Labeling this as wontfix and closing. I'm fine with using spotifyd at the moment but I hope spotify eventually fix their broken app.

Since last time there have been some updates to the spotify client and I'm also using the new official protonvpn-cli app. I tried launching spotify and I am no longer experiencing any of the above issues. I don't know which application actually caused the issue but it seems to be fixed now.
