Error while starting mopidy ErrorType.USER_NEEDS_PREMIUM: 15

[TCke83]

When I start mopidy with the spotify extension i get an error in the logs and i'm unable to play songs, loading playlists is possible however.

I have a premium family account, so the ERROR seems wrong.

The system is running raspbian with all updates install and i'm using:

I can confirm the same problem, also having a family premium account.

As promised last month (https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/2022/04/12/libspotify-sunset), Spotify disabled access to libspotify on May 16 2022. As of today, seven years after libspotify was deprecated, there is still no official replacement library available.

So this basically means that mopidy will no longer work with spotify integration?

See #110 which covers possibly migrating to librespot, until that is solved mopidy-spotify can't stream music.
