Environment

• OS: Linux
• Application version: 0.16.3 (github release spotify_player-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-0.16.3.tar.gz)
• Application features: N/A

Additional context Started suddenly, I tried clearing the cache to no avail. The command line give me the same result:

$ spotify-player get item artist --id 1dfeR4HaWDbWqFHLkxsg1d

Thanks for reporting.

Look like the error happens because of a recent change from Spotify that changes the type of a field from integer to float. I submitted a bug issue to the third-party library that handles Spotify APIs: https://github.com/ramsayleung/rspotify/issues/452

+1 Another Spotify player I use is having the same issue 😅 Bit of context, if it helps:

• https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/issues/1018
• https://github.com/rinukkusu/spotify-dart/issues/193

Of note: a workaround has been merged to rspotify: https://github.com/ramsayleung/rspotify/pull/457

Encountered another error in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/383#issuecomment-1972452044 but with get-several-tracks API. As it may take rspotify quite a while to implement/release patches, I'll implement a workaround from spotify_player side.

Should be fixed by https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/pull/386. Can anyone try running from the latest master to see if the issue is fixed now?

@aome510 so far no issues noticed. Thanks!
