Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/1068

When i execute in the console the command "spt" the gui appears for some seconds and then this error shows up. Or if i ignore it and press esc and try to play a song it appears again. What's this? How can i resolve that?

I have the same problem.
It displays all the infos (playlist, currently playing song) and shows my devices.
But I can't do anything because of the above mentioned error popping up after trying so play something.

(I can toggle pause/play with the spacebar despite the error-window, resulting in the error-message updating to a 403 error "Player command failed: Restriction violated")

My issue is similar.

I am able to run spt and now and then the error is displayed. It doesn't seem to be triggered by anything specific I am doing with the interface. It's just popping showing up (but very often). When I ESC it away, I am able to see my library and I can control my spotifyd.

I do have a premium account (family)
my playback device (spotifyd) is active, working and selected
the spotifyd doesn't have a space in the name

Happens both on an intel and apple silicone macbook with macOS 12.5.1

I love this Spotify player NGL, it works as a player without spotifyd. I hope more people here can use it than to use deprecated abandonware.
