Hi, i'm just trying to start a song on Spotify, I found the way to have a token, but now that I ask for my list of devices, it tells me that the Permission is missing
So here is my code :

import sys
import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
username = 'OueOue'
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope = 'user-modify-playback-state', client_id='MyClientID', client_secret='MySecretID', redirect_uri = 'https://open.spotify.com/browse/featured')
if token:
print("Token OK")
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
print("Authentication OK")
sp.start_playback(device_id = sp.devices(), context_uri = 'spotify:track:7MywASx2OFZngfoORjo1yy', uris = None, offset = None)
print("SMAH")
else:
print("Can't get token for %s" % username)

Thank you for your time :)

I doubt it, but tell me if you find the answer to this. Thanks.

I found an unsatisfying solution, get the device ID from :
https://developer.spotify.com/console/put-play/
and click on "fill sample data"
but the problem is that I will only be able to start or resume a playback on my computer, and not on other devices, that's why i'm waiting for another solution

I GOT THE SOLUTION !
First connect on spotify on all the devices you would like to use (for example your laptop, mobile phone, and your desktop pc), go here : https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-users-available-devices/

Then ask for a token, do Win+cmd , copy the curl request and paste it in cmd :
You'll normally get the list of all the devices currently connected to your spotify account.

Now do an array of string (bi-dimensional array of characters), let's call it Dvcs[3][40].
[3] because I have only 3 IDs, [40] because a device ID is a string of 40 characters.

Fill it with the IDs of your devices, then just do a function in your program that allows you to choose on which device to play the track (like choosing i = 1 or 2 or 3 and then select Dvcs[i][]).
I hope it has been helpful to you guys ! 😄

I wish there was some way to have the token not have to be manually updated every time :<

You need to add user-read-playback-state to your scope to read the device id (and other device information). You can find more information about scopes here: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/scopes/

Looks like it was a scope problem, closing
