Not playing "searched" music

[tatiee]

Hey all,

Weird problem that just started for me. I can play music that's already "loaded" into the player (not sure how that works) but anytime I try to search and play an album it shuffles through the songs fast - like it's speed playing or trying to play each song but can't.

Does this happen with every album, or just specific ones?

FWIW I can't find "ア・レター・フロム・スローボート", so I suspect that is an entirely separate issus of that Spot doesn't hide albums when they're unavailable in your region. And then, it doesn't send an error that this song/album is unavailable, but silently skips it.

Every album I search for from the search bar.

Hm, that's a lot scarier if that's the case

Never mind - the tracks play fine. I must've just found the one album not in my territory. Sorry for the mixup!

Ah, I see. Still an issue though - we should filter out region-locked content and fail gracefully when forced to listen to it.

I think region-locked content is filtered, at least for search and a couple other requests (we use the parameter market=from_token or country=from_token). Maybe it's still missing in some places but this doesn't explain the issue with search.

Is it happening consistently with this album?

[jannuary]

Well that's weird:

I'm fairly sure this appeared in search before, but now it's filtered properly? Region-locked content still appears in artist view though:

Oooh, good catch, I don't know if the parameter has been renamed but it should be market and not country :/

Still got duplicates (usually albums issued through multiple labels)
