[Bug] Cannot play any music on Linux

[arenekosreal]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

After I login into spotify, I can see all my playlists and even search for new songs. But when click one of the songs to play, I can't see anything shows it works, there is no playback, nor the correct music length shows(it always 00:00). But I can see the album cover is updated at left down corner, and also play the song directly on YouTube.

Expected Behavior

The song is playing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the app and login into spotify
2. Search a song,(like Sakura Fubuki)
3. You can see some songs match your query
4. Choose first one (Sakura Fubuki - Street)
5. After waiting for it loads, the song cannot play, but the cover is updated.

Operating System

Arch Linux

Spotube version

v3.4.1

Installation source

GitHub Releases (Binary)

Additional information

MPRIS is updating, it even shows spotube is playing, sets correct music length and refreshes progress in real-time.

Running spotube with --verbose flag and trying to play Sakura Fubuki mentioned before outputs this in my terminal:
spotube.log

Manually open the same googlevideo.com URL at browser returns a 403 error.

Use the nightly version and change the Audio Source to JioSaavn. Looks like youtube.com is unreachable for some reason in your device

I downloaded nightly version at https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/releases/tag/nightly. I must say it is pretty old, it is even elder than v3.4.1. But there is no JioSaavn in Audio Sources, only YouTube and Piped.

Can you use the .deb or .rpm version?

I had the same problem. Somehow, changing my browser from firedragon to firefox seemed to work, so, I would imagine the issue has to do with settings in the default browser and youtube.

Oh, I see, the .rpm or .deb version is newer than the tar one. However, I am using archlinux and installing them directly is not allowed. So I unpacked .deb version and run binary in usr/share/spotube/spotube instead. But unfortunately it seems to be worse, I cannot even finish loading. Here is the log output when searching Sakura Fubuki and trying to play it:
spotube.log
It seems that the token has been limited, but I have already tried logout from spotify and login again.

PS: I have noticed that you mentioned it may because I cannot connect to YouTube, here I will give a brief introduction about my network. I live in place where Spotify and YouTube are both blocked, but I started spotube with environment variables set to access Spotify and YouTube through proxy. I am not using English locale either, so the actual command I start the spotube to debug is LANG=C HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:2080 HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:2080 ALL_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:2080 spotube --verbose

Today I found the solution: follow #88 (comment) to set environment variables completely, http_proxy, https_proxy and all_proxy all need to be set, and their name is lower case. Also I set music source to JioSaavn
