Shuffle and repeat not working with Spotify #26

Closed Epicguru closed 2 years ago

Hi, thanks for the tool. Seems to be working nicely apart from this issue. The shuffle and repeat buttons have no effect and do not reflect the current state of those buttons in the spotify client. The pause, previous track and next track buttons are working fine. The source is 'Spotify'.

I am on Ubuntu 21.04, GNOME 3.38.5. I am running the official spotify client installed via Snap.

Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. This is an issue with Spotify and not the extension. Their linux client is poorly maintained and not updated whatsoever. They seem to have the api for loop/shufle buttons open (that's why the extension shows them), but they do not work. I can't do anything unless they fix it.
