@subutux

Thanks for taking the time to report an issue, this is always very welcome. And apologies for the delayed reply!

It looks like a genuine issue, so I'm marking it as a bug. I've been pretty busy recently (still am), but I will try to triage it properly soon.

Hello, I'm trying tizonia for the first time, I'm having the same issue. I figured I'd put that out there in hopes that priority would be raised. I know you said you're busy, so I understand if you can't get to it, but I really would like to be able to use Spotify without using Spotify's app. Thanks!!

Hi @jazzyeagle !

This issue has to do with a '+' sign in the spotify user name. Are you in the same circumstances (perhaps a '+' or '=' sign or similar)?

[jazzyeagle]

I'm not sure, as I can't see my username on Spotify. I always log in with my e-mail address through the Spotify app or website, so just my e-mail address is what I have been using. There are no pluses or equal signs in it, so not sure if I'm supposed to be adding one. Maybe that's the issue?

I'm not sure, as I can't see my username on Spotify.

You can actually, just go to https://www.spotify.com/account/overview/ . The Account Overview section shows the username of your account. For newer accounts, this could be a random 25-character long string, not the email address.

This could be good to read as well: https://docs.tizonia.org/manual/spotify.html

let me know how it goes

[jazzyeagle]

Ok, apparently I signed up under Facebook so long ago I didn't remember doing it!! lol Device signup & password got me past this issue. Now I just got to figure out my danged audio settings again, and I should be good to go.

Thanks again for your help!
