When I go to the search page I can't press enter to search, I found out this is the way search by watching the demo on youtube. I can exit the "insert mode" from the search bar by pressing Ctrl + I but even then when I press enter nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or am I invoking the search in the wrong way?

OS: Fedora 38
Application version: release
Application features: pulseaudio backend

Additional context
the following is my app.toml:

theme = "default"
client_id = "<-private-client-id->"
client_port = 8888
playack_format = "{track} • {artists}\n{album}\n{metadata}"
notify_format = { summary = "{track} • {artists}", body = "{album}" }
# the default `copy_command` is based on the OS
copy_command = { command = "pbcopy", args = [] } # macos
# copy_command = { command = "xclip", args = ["-sel", "c"] } # linux
# copy_command = { command = "clip", args = [] } # windows
app_refresh_duration_in_ms = 32
playback_refresh_duration_in_ms = 0
cover_image_refresh_duration_in_ms = 2000
page_size_in_rows = 20
track_table_item_max_len = 32
enable_media_control = false
enable_streaming = true
enable_cover_image_cache = true
default_device = "spotify-player"
play_icon = "▶"
pause_icon = "▌▌"
liked_icon = "♥"
playback_window_position = "Top"
cover_img_length = 9
cover_img_width = 5
playback_window_width = 6

[device]
name = "spotify-player"
device_type = "speaker"
volume = 100
bitrate = 160
audio_cache = false

and my keymap.toml:

[[keymaps]]
command = "FocusNextWindow"
key_sequence = "l"
[[keymaps]]
command = "FocusPreviousWindow"
key_sequence = "h"
[[keymaps]]
command = "PageSelectNextOrScrollDown"
key_sequence = "C-d"
[[keymaps]]
command = "PageSelectPreviousOrScrollUp"
key_sequence = "C-u"

@BinaryFly can you provide corresponding logs and any videos for demonstration? Without those, it's really hard to find the issue cause.

Sure! I tried again to get a clean log of the problem and these are the lines that are about the search bar:

which is weird because it can fetch my playlists and liked songs fine. Maybe I need to change my setup in spotify dashboard? (I copied over an old configuration for spotify-tui but since that isn't maintained anymore I thought I could use the same client id for this config)

It should be fine. The client ID is only needed if you want to use the Spotify connect feature.

I can still search the term "Take me home country roads". Does the search functionality work with other simple queries like "take" for example?

Hey, just started to use spotify_player 1 hour ago. Great so far :)
But exactly the same thing happens to me.
Build freshly with cargo install spotify_player.
Same 404 error message in the logs.

This is weird. I tried to reinstall spotify_player on both my M1 Mac and Ubuntu machines and search still works fine. Not sure if this is a temporary regional issue or something else.

I tried running the application with RUST_LOG="spotify_player=TRACE" and the following is the last half of the log generated from this, maybe it helps if its a bit more verbose:

Can you run with RUST_LOG=TRACE or RUST_LOG=DEBUG instead? I want to see the logs of the third-party libraries, which are disabled by default.

I tried again today and somehow it works now. Maybe an update to fedora or rebooting might have fixed it, not exactly sure. Do you still have this issue @b1rdhous3 ?

@BinaryFly Can confirm. It is working again for me as well. I did not change anything and run the exact same build as yesterday. Maybe there was an issue on Spotify API side.

Thanks!

Great! Let's close this for now. Occasionally, Spotify APIs don't work because of regional issues (server down, etc).
