Addon fails to start with "Login failed with reason: Bad credentials"

[Pomezny]

Problem/Motivation

Addon fails to start, spotifyd crashes. Error "[2024-08-14T09:25:51Z ERROR librespot] Connection failed: Login failed with reason: Bad credentials" can be observed in the log.

Expected behavior

Start the addon

Actual behavior

Main process crashes.

Steps to reproduce

Add Spotify username and Spotify password to the config and try to run the addon

Proposed changes

This issue is filed only to let other users and maintainer know what is going on. Spotify recently disabled username/password access which librespot uses as an authentication method to for the API. Workaround might me removing credentials, but it was observed that device discovery might not work. Proper solution in this repository is probably not possible, since it relies on librespot and we need to wait for the librespot team to resolve this issue. There already is issue in their repository and its looks like they are already working on solution here https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1308 When librespot comes up with the solution addon will probably need some changes and update to latest librespot

same issue, after upgraded to the latest HA Os version.

Spotify disabled the use of username/password last weekend. We can't do anything about it at the moment as we rely on librespot. I can't test right now but the issue should only be auth. If starting without a username/password, it should still be discovered on your local network.

[rosicenko]

Yep, same happened to Music Assistant but there it is already fixed.

[Rolfvanderplas]

Yep, same for me. Starting without username/password suceeded.

[dtap001]

same here. please fix it

[CountOlaf87]

I'm having the same issue here

[mwarchulinski]

Same here. I tried to change my password, add a new connection method to my spotify account and even reinstall the addon. I'm starting to dig around librespot now.

[gungam]

same here tried Music Assistant:

Yep, same happened to Music Assistant but there it is already fixed.

but I'm unable to figure out to use the local audio out of the pi... :-( It seems to support only streaming devices as chrome cast oder sonos...

FYI I have found the best way to get audio out of the pi, assuming you are running HA is to install the shairport sync addon using this repository https://github.com/v3rm0n/hassio yes it is unmaintained, but for now it still works well, then add airplay as a player in Music assistant and It should automatically discover the shairport sync addon.

[PerSterin]

Yep, same for me. Starting without username/password suceeded. Debug logs without username and password and with username and password below. Have reinstalled Add-on: Spotify Connect, and changed the password.

After removing my username/password (best done through the "Edit in YAML" option) it seems to work as expected. Maybe with a slow initial connection?

Meta Info for anyone following this:

• librespot issue which is the upstream source of the incident: 1308 which is fixed by the librespot pull request which is not yet merged: 1309
• Music Assistant Issue with the same problem: 2749 which seems to be fixed by the Music Assistant pull request 1562 (which was never linked, but @OzGav and @marcelveldt never linked them together before locking the discussion, so it was a bit a PITA to find this)

[brixharlem]

Has anybody found a workaround yet? Spotify Connect works after removing username and password, but I always need another device (e.g. smartphone) to "authenticate" Home Assistant by handing over the speaker. After HA restart, it has to be repeated. Thank you!

[robertjscooper]

For referenece; librespot has now merged a PR for handling OAuth2.0 authentication.

[fchaudhri02]

Is there any update on this? I was using this at my business to automatically play music locally on home assistant which was connected to an AV receiver. Eagerly waiting for this to be fixed.

[brixharlem]

@fchaudhri02 I finally bought an audiocast pro device. This fixed it for me and works much better than before.

@brixharlem How are you using that with home assistant? Are you using Spotify or Spotify Plus integration?

I had purchased WiiM Mini to try. My theory was if I put WiiM and home assistant on the same network, I should see WiiM as a device on the Spotify integration and should be able to play to it. If that worked, all of my automation should work, but Spotify integration doesn't see the WiiM. However, I am able to play to WiiM from the phone app.

Both works fine. After connecting, the "source" is available and never disappeared. The device is running for a week.

@brixharlem Would you be able to share the steps you took to get it working? I can't figure out what am I missing or doing wrong.

For me, the spotify integration doesn't see Audiocast pro device. However, the spotifyplus integration does see it, but it fails to play on it. It gives me an error about credentials.

[brixharlem]

@fchaudhri02 Have you initialized the Spotify connection to Audiocast once with your mobile? Is the device available in the Spotify app?
