Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/828

Describe the bug
I'm on EndeavourOS, so I installed spotify-player using the shell command sudo pacman -S spotify-player.
I first launched spotify_player in my shell, which asked me to authenticate by clicking on the given link, which I did. I accepted the prompt in the opened web page, and it told me to go back to my terminal.
After that, I made a new app on spotify dashboard in my web browser, and copied the client ID to the client_id field in the app.toml file (the client_id field was already filled in, but with a wrong client ID, so I replaced it).
I then launched spotify_player again from my shell, pressed D, but no device appeared, so I couldn't do anything else, and I was presented with the playback no playback found [...] message.

To Reproduce
Just install spotify-player, add an app in Spotify Dashboard by following the readme of spotify-player, then add the client ID to the config file, and launch spotify-player

Expected behaviour
I expected an interface showing me the current track being played in the browser or on my phone

Environment

Bad request: Token is not valid
