can't connect to spotube plugins for Spotify metadata

[Pops34]

Is there an existing issue for this? (Please read the description)

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

when I choose "spotube plugin for Spotify metadata" it seems that the application installs it but nothing more happens, the application does not ask to connect. if I click on "set as default" then a connection button appears. when I click on it I only obtain an empty screen and nothing happens.

Expected Behavior

I expect some popup to ask me to connect to my Spotify account when the plugin is installed without checking "set as default". And when set as default and clicking on the connecting button I expect something to happen.

Steps to reproduce

I opened the app. it says no plugin for metadata is installer I choose spotube plugin for Spotify I click on set as default i click on connecting

Just installed on windows today, I have the same problem. The plugin asks me to login to spotify when I set it as default, but after successfully logging in on the pop up window, nothing else happens, and after closing the window it still asks me to log in.

update: now this error log is showing in the spotube home page: File: /home/runner/work/spotube-plugin-spotify/spotube-plugin-spotify/src/segments/browse.ht Line: 16, Column: 55 Runtime error: nullObject Message: Calling method [$sub_getter_] on null object [credentials].

update 2: I've managed to connect the plugin to my spotify account, and now I get to see my spotify feed in spotube, but it still doesn't play any of the songs, despite showing all of them, loading artist catalogues, and showing the albums and thumbnails, downloading doesn't work, and there's a loading circle beside the settings gear icon and won't go away.

今天刚安装在 Windows 上，我也有同样的问题。当我将其设置为默认值时，该插件会要求我登录 spotify，但在弹出窗口成功登录后，没有其他任何情况，关闭窗口后它仍然要求我登录。

更新：现在此错误日志显示在 Spotube 主页中： File: /home/runner/work/spotube-plugin-spotify/spotube-plugin-spotify/src/segments/browse.ht Line: 16, Column: 55 Runtime error: nullObject Message: Calling method [$sub_getter_] on null object [credentials].

Yeah there was a issue with the youtube library due to API change but recently NewPipe support was added in desktop platforms as well.. So you can switch to "Settings > Playback > YouTube Engine > NewPipe" in the latest stable version Also, if you're using yt-dlp make sure to update and check their docs as they now require Deno/Nodejs to be installed as well.
