Song name is disappearing sometimes

[PoSayDone]

The music is playing and module is working properly, but sometimes song name is disappears and "No music is playing" caption appears. After ~5 sec all is back to normal. (I am using scripts from your dotfiles)
I am using spotify-tui and spotifyd as a daemon

[PoSayDone]

So, I think is the problem of spotifyd or spotify-tui.

Thanks for the heads up. The player defined in the scripts is playerctld which tries to find the currently active music player. Try changing it to spotify and see if the issue comes up. If not, it might just be a problem of spotifyd or spotify-tui as you said.

If someone would have the same issue use this instructions.

1. Compile spotifyd from source (master branch is ok), as the latest official build is quite old and doesn't have @sirwindfield's hotfix. Alternatively, you can checkout v0.2.24 and patch it yourself

2. When you build/install, make sure that you set at least the --features dbus_mpris flag, along with anything else you need

3. If you have a config file, make sure it's in the new TOML format to avoid problems, as the binary doesn't have that yet either

4. Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login, create an app (call it whatever), and copy the client ID

5. When you run spotifyd, set the SPOTIFYD_CLIENT_ID environment variable to that client ID, e.g. with the default one
   SPOTIFYD_CLIENT_ID=2c1ea588dfbc4a989e2426f8385297c3 spotifyd --no-daemon

6. If you use systemd, you can add the environment variable to the [Service] section of your spotifyd.service, like below
   spotifyd.service file with token:

[Unit]
Description=A spotify playing daemon
Documentation=https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd
Wants=sound.target
After=sound.target
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/spotifyd --no-daemon
Restart=always
RestartSec=12
Environment=SPOTIFYD_CLIENT_ID= your id

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
