Searching for device issue #79

Closed Neiwin closed 3 years ago

Neiwin commented 4 years ago

I have issue with device searching. When I startup the spotify client, everything works fine... It will load up and show my playlists, etc. But when I hit play, the messege show up: No device is selected! Press W to open devices menu. So I press W and new "window" pop up with searching with no response, it just freezes.

@Neiwin Do you have Spotify running somewhere else? For example, on your phone or the desktop/web app? This program doesn't play music on its own, it just controls Spotify when it's already running elsewhere.

Try opening Spotify on your phone or on the desktop/web client first, then run this program.

@Neiwin did this work?

@marcdjulien Had the same problem and this guided me to some terminal tunes. Simple misunderstanding of how it worked. Thank you

@jvlewis glad it's working! I will update the UI to make this more clear.

I added a more help message in the search window in version 0.15.2. I hope this helps!
