Spotify clients cannot find spotify daemon

[josphh]

Describe the bug

spotify-tui cannot find the spotifyd service, rendering it unable to play music.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable the spotifyd service in configuration.nix and rebuild.
2. Edit ~/.config/spotifyd/spotifyd.conf to include information required by spotifyd
3. Install, run, and complete the spotify-tui setup.
4. Check devices by dressing D, but spotifyd cannot be found, nor can it play music

Expected behavior

I expect spotify-tui to find spotifyd and play music

Screenshots

Additional context

With spotify-qt, I had the personal problem of being unable to find the daemon, like where the maintainer said it should be - rendering it also unable to play music. Possibly NixOS is putting the daemon at a different path, and not telling either of the apps where it actually is. I have* also verified spotifyd.service is running.

I am afraid that right now I do not have the time to investigate this. Perhaps one of the maintainers of the spotifyd package—@marsam and @Br1ght0ne—could help?

Edit ~/.config/spotifyd/spotifyd.conf

Perhaps you need to use services.spotifyd.settings rather than editing this file.
