Cannot start any playback in GUI

[theadepti]

Describe the bug
In the GUI it just says "No playback found." When I press enter on a song, it doesn't start playback.

To Reproduce
Go to any playlist and highlight a song. Then press enter

Expected behaviour
I expected the playback to start playing the highlighted song

Log and backtrace
My logs seem to have a lot of id's. So I'm not sure if I should upload them here.
If it is perfectly safe to upload them here, let me know, I'll send all the logs right away

Screenshots

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS x86_64
• Application version: spotify_player 0.20.4 from homebrew
• Application features: I used homebrew, and didn't install any additional features explicitly

Additional context

I do get this error in the terminal when I close the player

ALSA lib conf.c:4029:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/alsa-lib/1.2.13/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2722:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Does a device show up when you press shift+d?

[theadepti]

Nope, just shows empty list

[aome510]

shift+d will always show empty device list if you haven't set up Spotify Connect as described in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player#spotify-connect.

ALSA lib conf.c:4029:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/alsa-lib/1.2.13/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2722:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Regarding the above error, maybe you don't have some dependencies installed. Double check https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player#dependencies. Can also search up the error in the repo cause I think I saw a similar one before. I think the error is the reason why you cannot start any playback

[SignificantNose]

I have the same issue, except that I do not have the error after closing the client, and all the necessary dependencies are present.
I use spotify-player-full AUR package.

I also saw the command spotify_player playback start command, thought it would fix the issue, but I do not know what to provide next. Tried to run spotify_player playback start context --name spotify-player artist, but received a 404 not found.
What else could be the issue that prevents playback?

[aome510]

What else could be the issue that prevents playback?

hard to tell without any logs/backtraces. Refer to https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player?tab=readme-ov-file#logging for info on how to get one

Thanks for reporting. I think

is the reason for failing to start playback. That said, this is the first time I see such error though, so don't really know how to fix it

[Fireye04]

Was having a similar issue where no devices would show up in shift + d menu. Adding the spotify connect functionality (https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player?tab=readme-ov-file#spotify-connect) fixed it on my end, so I figured I'd say something just in case someone has the same problem.

[Domerpig]

I had the same issue when installing with the pulseaudio-backend backend without setting --no-default-features.
Installing again with the flag set solved the issue
