Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC/issues/257

Problem

SpotiFLAC fails to fetch album metadata with error "failed to fetch metadata" after 10-second timeout. This occurs with multiple albums. The app is up to date (installed via Gear Lever appimage manager).

Attempted albums:

  • Big Bam Boom by Daryl Hall & John Oates
  • On Company Time by Oct

The same functionality worked without issues on Windows. Tested with VPN both connected and disconnected on Fedora - both failed.

Debug logs show consistent behaviour:

[17:21:20] [info] fetching album metadata...

Also experiencing this, same error messages on Debian 13 (XFCE desktop environment) using the 7.0.1 appimage downloaded directly from the latest release.

Update: Root cause identified

After investigation with debug logging, the metadata API server afkarxyz.web.id is completely unreachable:

Evidence:

  • Browser: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
  • curl: Connection reset by peer
  • openssl: write:errno=104, no peer certificate available
  • SpotiFLAC debug: dial tcp 8.215.50.195:443: connect: connection refused

The server is actively refusing all TLS connections from all clients (browsers, CLI tools, SpotiFLAC).

Server status: afkarxyz.web.id appears to be completely offline/blocking all traffic as of 2026-01-11.

@afkarxyz I apologise - I misdiagnosed the connection failures as the server being offline rather than overloaded. The symptoms (connection refused/reset) looked identical from the client side.

For what it's worth, some approaches that might help with load:

  • Cloudflare free tier can handle caching and absorb traffic spikes
  • Rate limiting per-IP at the API level
  • Consider multiple API endpoints or fallback sources if traffic continues growing

No pressure though - just general suggestions if they're useful.

Note: The issue title is misleading - this affects all platforms, not just Linux. It's the server overload affecting everyone.
