Hi, I'm currently trying to get spotify-tui to work with spotifyd. spt sees the currently playing song by spotifyd@mypc but won't allow me to control the daemon because of this error:

Error
Api response: Spotify API reported an error
If you are trying to play a track make sure the official spotify app is open

My spotifyd is installed from AUR.
kernel: 5.3.4-arch1-1-ARCH

↳spotifyd --version
spotifyd 0.2.18

↳spt --version
spotify-tui 0.4.0

Hmm... I need to try myself.

Perhaps you've already done this, but have you selected spotifyd as a "device"?

Does spotifyd show up when you press d?

Well now it is indeed working as intended :) thanks for the quick reply! Love the idea behind the app and how snappy it is! I've been wanting to write one like this myself one day :)

Do we have to select the device on each use?

Great software thanks!

The last selected device ID is cached (you can see it in ~/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml), so you shouldn't need to select it on each use.

Just make sure that device is active if you're having playback issues.

And thank you!
