Api response: No device_id selected

[taviso]

I'm not having any luck trying to use the 0.22.0 release. The setup worked, and it does display the track I'm currently playing in the web player.

If I press space to pause playback, that works, but if I try to continue it says Api response: No device_id selected.

Is there any way to generate a debugging log?

The full error is:

Same error in win10 with install from cargo upd: The discussion from here helped me: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/310

Encountered same thing now, and it seems this is more a documentation issue? If I understand it right, you need to have other Spotify client open at the same time? This is what fixed it for me. Otherwise Spotify web API will respond with no active devices?

I wonder if spotify-tui could register itself as a device? Would that fix this error?

Same issue, running spotifyd as client. I have premium.

Same issue, running spotifyd as client. I have premium.

Same specs, my workaround has been to restart spotifyd systemctl --user restart spotifyd

and stick alias spt="systemctl --user restart spotifyd && spt" into .bash_aliases or such.

This occurred for me as a result of https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/579.

You need to install spotifyd and enable it as systemd-service
