Does not play any tracks in any playlist

[nloyola]

Describe the bug
ncspot does not play any tracks in any playlist. When I select a playlist, it highlights each track and then goes to the next one without playing anything. This repeats until the last track in the playlist.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. select a playlist

Expected behavior
I would like to hear the songs in the playlist.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux, Debian 11
• Terminal: Alacritty
• Version: 0.9.8
• Installed from: cargo

Backtrace/Debug log
None

Additional context
I've cleared the ncspot cache, but still does not play any tracks.

Have you updated to the latest version? I don't see any problems. I use 0.10 on Arch and it works fantastically.

[nloyola]

Still happens with ncspot version 0.10.0

It only started happening yesterday.

Hmm, without a debug log it'll be very hard to diagnose this problem, but my guess is it's related to your sound setup.

I see this in the log:

If this is not enough, I can post the whole debug log.

Thanks

Is it related to this issue?

librespot-org/librespot#972

[hrkfdn]

Yeah, I think that may be it

I started having this problem too. Adding 104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com to /etc/hosts as instructed in the librespot issue solved the problem.

[nloyola]

Thanks @Bettehem, the problem goes away with the change to /etc/hosts.

changing the /etc/hosts file did the trick. It was not only a problem in Denmark but in The Netherlands as well.

[hrkfdn]

Cool, closing this one then. Maybe we should add it to the documentation at some point 🤔 it keeps coming up more and more often.

[eyenx]

Switzerland here. Same issue. Same solution. /etc/hosts entry did the trick

Looks like the workaround will be incorporated in librespot soon: librespot-org/librespot#1026
