--volumeup and --volumedown does not work
Sometimes the volume controls don't work. Other commands such as play/pause/next/prev works fine. The only way to fix this is by restarting the Spotify app.
Using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
with i3
I'm going through the source code. It might be because of pacmd
or pactl
.
I'll let you know when the bug occurs again.
Hi,
I actually removed that feature in version 1.6.0 due to its errors and different behavior on different distros. It's mostly related to the system - not the Spotify app itself, so it doesn't have to be necessarily handled by this program.
Regards, Piotr
I understand @pwittchen
But I found the issue. It's with pacmd
It returns 2 instances of spotify
in it's output (which should be 1 normally), which get_sink_number
cannot parse properly.
This is the output of my pacmd list-sink-inputs
2 sink input(s) available.

If we can select the correct index, then it works properly. If I find time, I'll do a pull request.
Ok, I re-opened the issue. If you're able to prepare PR with a properly working code, I'm open for it. :)
