"gue1-dealer2.spotify.com" is not resolved for me, causing it to fail.
Replacing it with "dealer.spotify.com" allowed me to go through, create and use the player instance.

Could you provide some code to reproduce the error?

Simple code example I made derived from your code example in the readme:

from spotapi import (
    Login,
    Config,
    NoopLogger,
    solver_clients,
    PrivatePlaylist,
    MongoSaver, JSONSaver, PlayerStatus, Player
)

cfg = Config(logger=NoopLogger())

saver = JSONSaver()

# taken from browser cookies
session_data = [{
    "identifier": "redacted@email.com",
    "cookies": {
        (...)
    }
}]

saver.save(session_data)

instance = Login.from_saver(saver, cfg, "redacted@email.com")

status = PlayerStatus(instance)
# Use https://codebeautify.org/python-formatter-beautifier to read it
print(f"All devices {status.device_ids.devices}")
print(f"Active device {status.device_ids.active_device_id}")

I believe you leaked your email there, I'd edit that out if I were you. But I'll have a look in a second

Yes, it does seem they changed the websocket host. I'll push the new host. Thank you for bringing the issue to the surface.
