Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/865

Describe the bug
While controlling spotify running on another device works, the local streaming with no other client open does not.

To Reproduce
I don't no what the specific issue causing this problem is. On my machine i start spotify_player (v0.21.1) (installed from crates.io with default features), try to play a song, and the song doesnt play.

Expected behaviour
I expect the spotify_player to play music when i select a song and press play.

Environment

  • OS: Debian 13
  • Application version: 0.21.1
  • Application features: default features

Additional context
I have tried:

  • build from source,
  • clear ~/.cache/spotify_player
  • use alsa, rodio or pulseaudio backends
  • creating an app through the spotify app, and put the client_id into the app.toml
    none of these having any effect.
Originally created by @morellus on GitHub (Nov 7, 2025). Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/865 **Describe the bug** While controlling spotify running on another device works, the local streaming with no other client open does not. **To Reproduce** I don't no what the specific issue causing this problem is. On my machine i start spotify_player (v0.21.1) (installed from crates.io with default features), try to play a song, and the song doesnt play. **Expected behaviour** I expect the spotify_player to play music when i select a song and press play. **Log and backtrace** ``` 2025-11-07T16:35:38.150789Z INFO spotify_player: Configurations: Configs { app_config: AppConfig { theme: "dracula",

I also have the same issue, I believe it's sourced from those librespot_playback::player errors. I was having the same errors when trying out spotifyd today, so it's likely something to do with that core dependency and its interaction with spotify rather than spotify player specifically. Sometimes it doesn't cancel playback and "plays" but there's no audio and the pulseaudio ctl shows it's not even corked.

This matches my errors pretty much exactly. Did you already have the chance to look into that further?

No, I only really tested audio backends but I'm fairly certain they're unrelated to the issue. I would say the next step is to look into librespot but I don't feel confident in debugging an API.. My workaround right now is running the native spotify client (spotify (launcher) for me as I'm on arch) in a hidden workspace on my DE and just using this player as a controller for that. It's why I looked into spotifyd but like I said it runs into the same librespot error so no dice there.

Apparently Spotify changed something in their API. Librespot fixed the issue in their dev branch. Until this gets fixed here, you might want to check out this fork somone made to address this issue: richardhapb/spotify-player:patch. For the time being the best workaround and it worked for me at least.

Also duplicate of #864 btw.

Thanks to the both of you, this worked for me as well!

Sorry for the duplicate, will close this now as the discussion in #864 is much further along.
