Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/682
Describe the bug
In the GUI it just says "No playback found." When I press enter on a song, it doesn't start playback.
To Reproduce
Go to any playlist and highlight a song. Then press enter
Expected behaviour
I expected the playback to start playing the highlighted song
Log and backtrace
My logs seem to have a lot of id's. So I'm not sure if I should upload them here.
If it is perfectly safe to upload them here, let me know, I'll send all the logs right away
Screenshots
Environment
Additional context
I do get this error in the terminal when I close the player

Does a device show up when you press
shift+d?@theadepti commented on GitHub (Mar 16, 2025):
Nope, just shows empty list
@aome510 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):
shift+dwill always show empty device list if you haven't set upSpotify Connectas described in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player#spotify-connect.Regarding the above error, maybe you don't have some dependencies installed. Double check https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player#dependencies. Can also search up the error in the repo cause I think I saw a similar one before. I think the error is the reason why you cannot start any playback
@SignificantNose commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2025):
I have the same issue, except that I do not have the error after closing the client, and all the necessary dependencies are present.
I use spotify-player-full AUR package.
I also saw the command
spotify_player playback startcommand, thought it would fix the issue, but I do not know what to provide next. Tried to runspotify_player playback start context --name spotify-player artist, but received a 404 not found.What else could be the issue that prevents playback?
@aome510 commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2025):
hard to tell without any logs/backtraces. Refer to https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player?tab=readme-ov-file#logging for info on how to get one
@SignificantNose commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2025):
output of the latest log I found:
@aome510 commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2025):
Thanks for reporting. I think
is the reason for failing to start playback. That said, this is the first time I see such error though, so don't really know how to fix it
@Fireye04 commented on GitHub (May 4, 2025):
Was having a similar issue where no devices would show up in
shift + dmenu. Adding the spotify connect functionality (https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player?tab=readme-ov-file#spotify-connect) fixed it on my end, so I figured I'd say something just in case someone has the same problem.@Domerpig commented on GitHub (May 7, 2025):
I had the same issue when installing with the pulseaudio-backend backend without setting
--no-default-features.Installing again with the flag set solved the issue
