Pass arguments + flags to spotify executable

[tfachmann]

Is it possible to send arguments + flags to the spotify executable?

E.g. for wayland support it is necessary to start spotify like this

spotify --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

This is now possible in the 0.3.0 release:

$ cat /etc/spotify-launcher.conf 
[spotify]
extra_arguments = ["--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform", "--ozone-platform=wayland"]

Cool, thanks a lot for implementing!!

Just out of interest: Why do you need these parameters for Spotify on Wayland? I'm also on Wayland (KDE Plasma) and it works without them.

Is it running natively on wayland, or is there an xwayland session in between?
To test this, you might use the small program called xeyes. If the eyes move when hovering over spotify, it runs on xwayland. If they don't move, it is indeed running natively on wayland.

I'm using a minimal compositor (sway), if it runs natively on KDE, it may be the case that they have special flags / optimizations for apps in the Chromium Embedded Framework I don't know of.
