Something similar also happens when I start the application, nothing shows in the Playback and from the log I can see this:

Same issues, this happens when searching

User playlists still work and appear but new playlists that were made recently aren't appended due to

I have the exact same issue...

Might this be related to recent the changes in the web API?

I also gave the exact same issue

Arch, spotify-player-pipewire from aur

Can confirm that I also got many 404 errors. Might be related to the new Spotify API changes. Spotify always breaks their APIs 🤦 . I'll take a look over the weekend to see how to fix/mitigate this issue.

For me, it works fine if I use the default client_id.
If I use my own one, it's broken.
Seems consistent with the changes introduced in the api, as my own app is still "in development" and as such is considered a "new" app that has no access to the relevant web API access points.
So I have to choose now: spotify connect or searching...

[aome510]

one thing I just found out is that this 404 error only happens if you use your own client_id, i.e. to set up Spotify Connect. In other words, to work-around this issue, you can unset client_id in your app.toml to use the default Spotify client_id

I feel like this can be worked around further by implementing a separate client just for Spotify Connect, which I will play around over the weekend

[Saevath]

I can confirm that using the default Spotify client_id has fixed the issue for me.

[aome510]

Should be fixed with #618. Can anyone try latest master and confirm it's the case?

Great work! Works perfectly on mac os after building master.

[ociton]

when will it be merged into aur package?
