Can't select songs for playback

Open iamteedoh opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I have several playlists/songs. If I open a playlist and select a song, it only plays the one and only song it ever played for the first time. I can't change the song at all. If I go to the Song box area, highlight the song, and hit [enter], it still plays the previous and first song ever played. It's like that first song is stuck in the play bar.

Is there a way to maybe remove some cache or something here? I even tried adding the song I wanted to the queue by pressing z and still no luck.

For example, I chose this track to play by hitting [enter]

When looking at the logs in syslog, however, it still tries to play this same song below but that song won't even play:

Jul 22 07:46:49 themonster spotifyd[1955273]: 07:46:49 [INFO] Loading track "Quiero Bailar" with Spotify URI "spotify:track:4H678RF64rg7jU68kTpX123"
Jul 22 07:46:49 themonster spotifyd[1955273]: 07:46:49 [INFO] Track "Quiero Bailar" loaded

My spotifyd.conf file contains the following:

[global]
username = "myusername"
password = "my_spotify_passwd"
backend = pulseaudio
device_name = KDENeon
device_type = computer
bitrate = 320

My client.yml file for spotify-tui contains the following:

---
client_id: my_id_from_spotify_dev
client_secret: my_secret_from_spotify_dev
device_id: KDENeon
port: 8888

Furthermore, if I run a playlist like this: spt play --name "Wu-Tang" --playlist, this is the result I get back:

As you can see, no matter what I do, it still tries to play that same song over and over.

I use spotifyd to playback the music. It's worth noting that I can actually listen to that first song when it does plays. It makes me even wonder if it's a keybinding issue too?

And yes, this is a premium (family) account.

The same happens to me.

I'm using spotifyd too on a premium duo account.

Totally agree. I have no idea why it doesn't let me play a song I select. It only works by adding it to the queue via z and skipping the song by n

same issue any news on this by any chance ? only seems to happen with spotifyd, not with web player device so maybe its an spotifyd issue :shrug:

edit: spotifyd official snap package was actually behind like 123 versions from latest so that was the issue, built latest from source and everything works fine now
