Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/615

So, long story short. Upgraded system, moved files over to nvme, and have been working on getting things set back up. Got spotify_player working again a couple of days ago. Get a message from Spotify this morning that they noticed "sus" activity and changed my password for me. Got my password updated. Now spotify player will not start even after re-registering with my account.

Error:

Error: initialize new Spotify session

Caused by:
    0: new streaming connection
    1: initialize spirc
    2: Permission denied { Login failed with reason: Bad credentials }

I have been working on trying to figure this out. going so far as to create a new app on spotify to get a new client ID.
I also tried using the ID form the docs, but nothing. Looked around for a bit but didn't find anything that helped.

OS: Xubuntu 24.04
Version: 0.20.1

try to re-authenticate the application with spotify_player authenticate or delete the cached credentials.json in ~/.cache/spotify_player then re-run the app

@aome510 Just wanted to touch base. I haven't had a chance to try this out myself. Been traveling for work this week. But I installed player in my worklaptops wsl term, and it loads just fine. Except for there is no spotify deamom for it to connect to, but I was just testing the launching and connecting it to my account. Should get back home tonight to see if this works for me.

that's weird. What is the result of spotify_player --help?

@aome510 That fixed it!! Thank you. Done on my end. Not sure if you want to leave this open for evolutionxobx's issue or not.

I think it might be something unrelated. Will close this for now

~~@aome510 I'll create a new ticket if I can, because no matter how many times I run spotify_player authenticate (and follow the link) no credentials.json is created.~~

Sorry @aome510, I hadn't started the Spotify daemon either. Thanks @gand0rf 👍
