There should no longer be any need for this extension, as Mopidy-Spotify has had support for browsing through the Spotify Web API for a while now.

It might be worth adding a note to the readme stating this and archiving this repository.

Hi all, I have come across this exact problem that is fixed in this merge request.

@jodal what do you mean by "Mopidy-Spotify has had support for browsing through the Spotify Web API for a while now"? Can we access a web client on the mopidy server when the Mopidy-Spotify extention is installed and enabled?

If such documentation exists, it should indeed be handy to archive this repo and link the new documentation so that new people don't have to get confused and frustrated while trying to get this old client to work...

This extension isn't a web client. It is a backend that provides access to browse some additional Spotify directories that previously was not supported by Mopidy-Spotify itself. Since support for those directories where added to Mopidy-Spotify more than a year ago, this extension has been redundant.

The -web suffix in this extension's name comes from the fact that the extension makes use of Spotify's "Web API" to do so.

I can see that this is confusing, thus I'd very much like for the author of this extension to put a short explanation in the top of the project readme and archive the repo.

Thanks for the explanation, @jodal! That clarified a lot. Maybe by tagging @lfcabend, this person sees our request to change the readme...
