Hello there good sir,

I actually experienced this bug a few days ago and found a work-around. From my understanding this isn't an issue with spotify-player, but instead is a bug in librespot which affects a lot of custom spotify apps. Originally ran into this with Music Assistant linked to Home Assistant earlier this year.

To fix (as a workaround), edit your hosts file on your computer and add "0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com" to block the domain. This forces spotify to use an alternate cdn backend that still works properly.

Apologies if it's just my setup, everything was playing fine yesterday though.

Fellow Arch User here having the exact same problem, and everything was fine yesterday too. Did you by any chance make a system update recently?

I apologize, I guess I spoke too soon. When I first installed the app a few days ago I was getting this issue, and fixed it with the hosts file change I mentioned above. However, as of this morning it looks like that isn't working either and I'm now experiencing this bug again. Checked my logs and I'm getting the exact same errors you're getting.

Something had to have changed on Spotify's end. No changes were made on my system between yesterday and this morning, and it was working about 10hrs ago.

@kubiokyay135 no problem at all 👍 , and thank you for the fast reply! Unfortunately, it didn't work for me either, but I do recall that being a fix earlier this year indeed.

@Mega2223 good catch! I did do a full update earlier today. Maybe something broke along those lines.

Hi, same issue arising on my end as well, also running Arch + latest version of this, but did not do a system update recently.

Stopped working about 4 hours before posting this comment, worked fine earlier today.

librespot-org/librespot#1622

I've tested locally with the proposed librespot fix and can confirm it resolves the playback issue.

To get spotify-player working with PR #1622, I had to make a couple of code changes to accommodate the new librespot API. One of the commits since the last librespot release refactors how Spotify URIs are handled, replacing SpotifyId with a new SpotifyUri enum.

Changes required:

spotify_player/src/streaming.rs - Updated spotify_id_to_playable_id() function:

Changed parameter from spotify_id::SpotifyId to SpotifyUri
Replaced match id.item_type with pattern matching on SpotifyUri enum variants (SpotifyUri::Track { .. }, SpotifyUri::Episode { .. })

spotify_player/src/client/mod.rs - Updated lyrics() method:

Changed from SpotifyId::from_uri() to SpotifyUri::from_uri()
Added pattern matching to extract the SpotifyId from the SpotifyUri::Track { id } variant

With these changes, spotify-player builds successfully and can now play tracks without the "Track should be available, but no alternatives found" errors.

Once librespot PR #1622 is merged, spotify-player will need to adopt these API changes to remain compatible with the fix.

Thanks @OneTrueJASH for looking into this! If possible, once librespot releases a new version, can you put up a PR here as well?

Can you check if you are using the proper executable please?

which spotify_player

You can also test cleaning the build with Cargo beforehand.

cargo clean
cargo build --release

Is the patch for this issue already published? I tried rebuilding the cargo package with cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player --force but the issue still persists. Just so I know if I open a new issue.

@Eulenberg You have a build issue. Is there any error when you applied the patch? You can say the patch won't work when it compiled and the player would not play any songs.

librespot-org has updated the patch is no longer working for the newest version

i have updated the patch to target the working rev

edit: i noticed they only updated the version number so i have also updated my patch above
lets see how long till it breaks again and i cant target dev anymore

Hi!

I have the same problem too, I think. The songs will not start reproducing, but the "Spotify-player" appears as a device.

I am on macOS, installed thought homebrew

@wawwior does this mean we can build a working binary from this source again without the patch provided by @Alexander3a ?

@Eulenberg no, not until this is updated to the new version, which is a process pretty much identical to the patch.

@Alexander3a I created a PR with your suggestion. I tested it on my machine and it works pretty well. I really want to thank you because of this—my days are much better with spotify_player :) I created the PR just so people from this issue can get back to listening to music faster, but if you prefer, I can close my PR and wait for yours.

I just tried it and it works well. Please try uninstalling the version you had installed, update the repo, and install it again. If it still doesn't work, try to capture the error log.

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/spotify_player is showing the stable version as 0.21.2

If your Homebrew keeps installing 0.21.1, you might try targeting the specific version with your brew install command
