Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/501

The first time I tried to setup spotify-tui, a browser window opened to a blank page that didn't load. I closed the window back then and spotify-tui didn't work. In client.yml client_id and client_secret are correct, but device_id has value -.

I've tried removing the config client.yml and setup from the start, but after entering the client id & secret there isn't any prompt in the terminal for any URL that step 11 describes in the README section "Connecting to Spotify’s API".

I've tried this several times, and one time a browser window that had some spotify API url opened like after 10minutes, and spt layout broke when it prompted for the URL, which I failed to fill.

Missing device_id probably prevents using spt - pressing 'd' doesn't show any devices (I have spotifyd running and I've also tried by running the web browser client which I guess should work also)
