Listen on Spotify link "upstream request timeout" error #13

Open HyungnaLim opened 3 weeks ago

HyungnaLim commented 3 weeks ago

When clicking "Listen on Spotify" link, sometimes it goes to "upstream request timeout" error page. Couldn't take a screen capture, but it was an empty page with just white background and displaying a string "upstream request timeout". I didn't get any message about it from console when it happens. It seems like an issue with their web player according to here

Hmm that is interesting that it is timing out. I saw in the comments below someone from Spotfiy posted:

"This error may also happen if your internet connection is slower than usual or if too many browser tabs are open. It could also mean that Spotify's servers are currently overloaded.

In case the issue hasn't already resolved itself, apart from the previously mentioned advice, check if opening Spotify in a different browser would yield the same results."

I wonder if there's a way to handle this on code, instead of showing "upstream request timeout" page. But I can not make it happen again for testing...

I think this is a server issue on Spotify's side. Nothing we can really do from the client I don't think.
