Spotify is not detected ! #18

Closed ericiper closed 5 years ago

ericiper commented 5 years ago

Though Spotify is running, I get a message 'Could not get Spotify song...' Running on mint 19.1, based on ubuntu buster/sid Linux 4.15.0-46-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 6 09:33:07 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've seen that the dbus package is being used to find spotify, here is some info that might help !

dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames method return time=1553702441.580636 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.29 serial=3 reply_serial=2 array [ string "org.freedesktop.DBus" string "org.freedesktop.PackageKit" string ":1.29" string ":1.18" ]

Any help will be welcome !

for anyone who gets into this issue, need to run InstantLyrics with the same user as spotify !
