Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/633

Whenever I want to upload a new playlist cover I am confronted with a broken pipe error.

`
with open(readConfig("mainImg"), "rb") as image_file:
encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())

print(encoded_string)

sp.playlist_upload_cover_image(mainPlaylistID, encoded_string)

`

Which returns:
`

@stephanebruckert commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2021):

I think this is because you are uploading an image that's more than 256KB

Notes
The request should contain a Base64 encoded JPEG image data, maximum payload size is 256 KB.
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#endpoint-upload-custom-playlist-cover

We could definitely catch that exception and display a proper error message. A PR that does that is welcome!

I'll start working on this. Should I fix it on the "v3" branch only?

Awesome. Nope, that's a fix for v2, so please use the main branch

(Running Windows 10, Python 3.7.9)

I couldn't reproduce this exact error. The "closest" I got was:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionAbortedError(10053, 'An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine', None, 10053, None))

That happened when I uploaded the image generated by:

from PIL import Image

image = Image.new('RGB', size=(10_000, 10_000))
image.save("test.jpg")

Which generated a 1.49 MB image.

I ran some other tests.

I uploaded the image generated by:

image = Image.new('RGB', size=(10_000, 1_232))

Which generated a 188 KB image. It uploaded correctly. But when I generated one by running:

image = Image.new('RGB', size=(10_000, 1_233))

Which generated a 191 KB image, it failed with the following error:

spotipy.exceptions.SpotifyException: http status: 413, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/1fYfHp88zjW0kVZItm20gu/images:
 error, reason: None

Which occurred while handling the following:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 413 Client Error: Request Entity Too Large for url: https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/1fYfHp88zjW0kVZItm20gu/images

So, apparently it failed to upload an image that was smaller than 256 KB. It's because the maximum payload size is 256 KB, not only just the image, right? Am I testing it correctly?

@stephanebruckert commented on GitHub (Apr 21, 2021):

I wonder if the size (width x height) matters too? In your case 10000px looks too high.

For example, I think the image must be minimum 300x300px to be uploaded manually. Maybe there is also a maximum limit

To get random images in code, I like to use the dog API https://dog.ceo/dog-api/ 🐶
