Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/546

Hello, I installed spotify-tui recently to try it out but I'm having trouble playing a playlist from the tui; or if I start a playlist from the official client I cannot pause or unpause it in the tui. If I try to hit 'space' or '+' or '-' for pausing or volume control, it always shows me the API 403 error. There seems to be something fishy here, as adjusting volume shouldn't be for premium users only. Any possible insights as to what's going on?

I am having the same problem, of course I have a premium account and spotifd installed.
spotifd works fine, I can start playing something from my phone.

Strange, it start working on my machine after one day.
Maybe that I started my premium and started it right away didn't work and need some time to catch on?

Only issue now is that my spotifyd isn't on the devices list unless I choose it from my phone and start something (sorry for the offtopic).

I'm unable to reproduce this.
Is it possible these errors start happening after the tui is left open for some time?
Is it also possible these issues were only temporary, as if the spotify api was having issues?
