Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/577

I use ctrl + R to set the repeat mode to track, but when the song ends it just goes on to the next song.

To Reproduce
use ctrl + R to put repeat mode to track, wait for the song to end.

Expected behaviour
the current song should be repeated.

This is expected. Please use ToggleFakeTrackRepeatMode instead if you want to repeat a song. See https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/247. This is due to a restriction of third-party library that spotify_player cannot fix

thanks this seems to work out.
may I ask why even include the repeat track mode? seems a bit misleading

This doesn't work only for the integrated client provided by librespot (relevant issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/19). The repeat track mode works when you stream music from external source like official Spotify client

Is there a visual way to see if ToggleFakeTrackRepeatMode is turned on?
