Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/907

Hey idk if I'm doing something wrong but I cannot control or see any of my playlists or tracks, it just says No playback found at the top. I can however control the app through another device like a web player. I can also see the devices with SwitchDevices cmd, but clicking them doesnt work.

thx for help

It's an on-going issue with the pre-built binary of spotify-player because of some dependency they use. The issue has been resolved in upstream git version. Clone the upstream git version and compile it.

I cloned the repo and build successfully with all features enabled. Still no devices.
@iam-vasanth what do you mean with "Clone the upstream git version"? Is that different to clone master?

Hi @KingKnecht , Make sure you have defined client_id in app.toml file.

Also, Which OS are you on? Because i use Nixos and it did not work for me. I have tried all the solutions and gave up. I cloned it from main/master branch and built it on a arch distro box container. It worked there for me. It was weird why it did not work on Nixos though when i did the same.

Here is the cmd i used to build :
cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git --features image

Not sure then, I wish i could try and let you know but i deleted my spotify app from my dev dashboard while testing this issue and i can't create a new app right now because spotify has stopped new app registrations temporarily. Im just using the default spotify client now. Hope someone who knows better than me will help you!

@iam-vasanth I think I misunderstand the application. "Device" has probably nothing to do with audio device. It's a Spotify device, I think. What ever that is ^^
I thought it's just like the spotify-launcher (looks like the Spotify app on Windows) but without fancy graphics. But meanwhile I think it's not that easy... or is it/should it be?

Yes, Device in the sense it meant spotify connect devices. That is the reason if asked if you have followed the spotify connect setup process by adding client_id to app.toml config file. If already have gone through the setup. It's the application or the version issue.

If you're still facing the issue, I would recommend opening a new issue thread or look for a similar issue thread which is in open status because this is closed and idt anyone other than us will go through this issue thread.
