Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/840

This issue has persisted since I first used the app, about 6 months ago. It is specially relevant to the liked songs playlist, as mine has a bit over 2000 tracks on it.

When trying to load it, it can often get stuck in "Loading...", which from some of my early tests can easily last 8-10 hours without ever doing anything.

Most of the time the only way to fix it is to either quit and try again, or to start spamming the (gy) shortcut to reload the liked songs playlist. It can take literally a couple of minutes of trying just to have it load.

Sometimes it just loads instantly, even from fresh reboot.

The app barely uses any more memory when trying to load the playlist, about 10mb delta.

app.toml:

theme = "dracula"
# client_id = "xxx"
client_port = 3000
playback_format = """
{track} • {artists}
{album}
{metadata}"""
tracks_playback_limit = 50
app_refresh_duration_in_ms = 32
playback_refresh_duration_in_ms = 0
page_size_in_rows = 20
play_icon = ""
pause_icon = ""
liked_icon = "♥"
border_type = "Plain"
progress_bar_type = "Rectangle"
playback_window_position = "Top"
playback_window_width = 6
enable_media_control = true
enable_streaming = "Always"
enable_cover_image_cache = true
default_device = "xxx"
cover_img_width = 5
cover_img_length = 13 
cover_img_scale = 1.0

[device]
name = "xxx"
device_type = "speaker"
volume = 100 
bitrate = 320
audio_cache = true
normalization = false

Unfortunately after testing, the issue persists. It's not an issue of slow loading. It's that it often just won't load at all, requiring multiple app restarts, or changes in context window, to fix.

Seems to be spotify's api that's at fault.

Tested conditions where I wouldn't use the API for a day then start using the app. It would still randomly appear with these log messages.

@leto-ux commented on GitHub (Feb 14, 2026): Unfortunately after testing, the issue persists. It's not an issue of slow loading. It's that it often just won't load at all, requiring multiple app restarts, or changes in context window, to fix. Seems to be spotify's api that's at fault. Tested conditions where I wouldn't use the API for a day then start using the app. It would still randomly appear with these log messages. <details> <summary>logs</summary> ```
