Network flakiness #377

Open onpaws opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug I've been a Psst user for a while, thanks for your nice work on it.

Not sure if it's just me, but for the past few days I experience strange network behavior. Unclear if this issue originates from Spotify's server/CDN story, or how Psst connects, or somewhere else. Does anyone else have this issue?

Basically since ~Thursday March 9, when Psst tries to request from api.spotify.com, it gets Network Error: timed out reading response

Curiously if I use a VPN, this error doesn't occur and Psst connects as usual.

Meanwhile regardless of VPN, Spotify.app and https://open.spotify.com are working as usual. I tried deleting the config.json and re-logging in, but unfortunately no change in Psst behavior.

To Reproduce Open Psst.

Expected behavior Psst should show default content (songs, playlists, etc)

Environment

Additional context Psst release is dated Feb 11 image

Happy to provide more logs/etc to help debug, just let me know.

Hello @onpaws have you also tried deleting the cache folder? That worked for me with a similar issue.

There is definitely some network flakiness, I've also seen it break in the midst of a VPN connection.

Sounds like you may be suggesting the cache key(s) being somehow dependent on network status? Interesting. I'll try that next time, thanks
