DBUS/MPRIS-interface broken? Unable to fetch metadata

[Exceen]

Description
DBUS/MPRIS seems to be broken. Since yesterday I'm unable to get metadata via a DBUS request and if I request the current playback status it is always on "Stopped". I also set up a CLIENT_ID and set it in my service file as described here. This problem occurs on two devices and I didn't change anything on those systems. To me it looks like Spotify changed something in their API structure on first glance.

To Reproduce

1. Play some song on Spotify via spotifyd
2. Send a DBUS request (e.g playerctl -p spotifyd status, playerctl -p spotifyd metadata)

Expected behavior
If I remember correctly, before yesterday it was always either "play" or "pause" but I'm not sure about that. And metadata should be returned.

Yeah that is indeed a change in the Spotify API. @NNEU-1 has written a comment that explains this further here. So to fix this, we basically need an update of the rspotify crate in spotifyd.

[sewnie]

is anything being done about this?

[eladyn]

@wael444 I started working on updating the crate. However, there were quite some changes between 0.8.0 and 0.11.5, so it is not too easy. I'll push a WIP PR later, but it still needs some work.

[Exceen]

seems to be resolved with the latest commits when building it by myself

[bartlibert]

@Exceen which "latest commits" are you referring to, because I have built it with the latest master branch and I still have the issue.

[Exceen]

sorry my bad, I did this a few weeks ago and wanted to close this issue. I thought those commits were merged already

I built it from this pull request
12309ba

git fetch origin pull/1079/head:rspotify_upgrade

[SimonTeixidor]

This should be fixed on master now.
