Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/817

Describe the bug
The player stopped the audio session suddenly and was not able to create a new librespot session via shift+D. I closed the player and anytime I've tried to launch it since has resulted in :

Error: construct app client

Caused by:
    0: get token for user-provided client
    1: http error: status code 400 Bad Request

To Reproduce
install latest master: cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git --features image,notify,fzf
launch: spotify_player

Expected behaviour
should open the client and be able to create a librespot session.

Log and backtrace
Nothing obvious to me in the log and the backtrace was empty.

This is also happening to me on arch. It was working fine yesterday, then today I get the same error. Overnight, spotify logged me out of all my devices, but I'm unsure if that is related. I tried to re-authenticate and changed my client_id back to the default, but the bug remains.

I should note I was also logged out of all my devices prior to experiencing this issue, I hadn't mentioned it as I hadn't made any connection, but as we both experienced it it may well be related.

I had the same issue. Like my other clients, spotify_player got logged out. Deleting ~/.cache/spotify-player/credentials.json and going through the login flow again fixed it for me.

Please try the latest version (v0.21.0) to see if the error still persists. I also recommend to delete old token/credentials in the cache folder beforehand

I'm still getting the error in 0.21.0. Not sure if it is a mistake on my side. I've deleted ~/.cache/spotify-player.

Error: construct app client

Caused by:
    0: get token for user-provided client
    1: Failed to read redirect URI from HTTP request

There is indeed no redirect_uri query param in the URL the browser sends back after clicking on continue to the app, only code and state.

I'm having this same issue. Deleted the cache as well

I had the same issue after updating to 0.21 but deleting the cache fixed it.

@javfg I was able to get it to work by switching from firefox to chromium. I'm not sure if it was something with firefox itself, or my extensions or the fact I use strict mode.
