It says the just_audio_macos native plugin is missing
I guess the flutter pub dependencies weren't resolved correctly. Try running:

$ flutter clean
$ flutter pub get
$ flutter run -d macos

[nank1ro]

Tried, same error:

flutter: [Player._playTrack()] (-1002) unsupported URL
flutter: #0      AudioPlayer._load (package:just_audio/just_audio.dart:778:9)

That's a really weird bug. Can you debug following line in your IDE & check the currentTrack.uri if it's a valid URL string or not visually?

spotube/lib/components/Player/Player.dart

Line 144 in cb12376

AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse(currentTrack.uri!)),

[nank1ro]

The uri is present: spotify:track:1tNJrcVe6gwLEiZCtprs1u , but doesn't seem a valid URL

[nank1ro]

Debug:

[KRTirtho]

Thanks. And that's seems to be ok since the currentTrack isn't yet converted into a YoutubeTrack. Can you debug this line & see if the ytTrack.uri contains a valid URL string?

spotube/lib/components/Player/Player.dart

Line 159 in cb12376

.setAudioSource(AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse(ytTrack.uri!)))

[nank1ro]

The app crashes on this method (line 142):

await player
              .setAudioSource(
            AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse(currentTrack.uri!)),
            preload: true,
          )

I've added a catchError and the error is PlayerException ((-1002) unsupported URL)

It never reaches the line 156

[KRTirtho]

I've made some changes there. Try pulling the new modifications & see if works now

[nank1ro]

Now I'm getting a crash here

spotube/lib/components/Player/Player.dart

Line 160 in 8a1f3a3

.setAudioSource(AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse(ytTrack.uri!)))

with error:

[Player._playTrack()] (-11828) Cannot Open

[KRTirtho]

How does the ytTrack.uri look? Is it a valid URL string? I guess it's the AVFoundation framework of Mac OS isn't recognizing the URL as a valid URL because there's no mimetype in the headers

If this is the case then ytTrack.uri!+".mp3" should fix issue

[nank1ro]

I've tried to add .mp3 but th error is the same.
I also tried to open the URL in the browser but I get this error: Access to rr2---sn-hpa7zned.googlevideo.com was denied. You don't have authorisation to view this page.

[KRTirtho]

Can you provide me the URL you're getting in ytTrack.uri

[nank1ro]

If I go with the browser without the .mp3 added I can listen to the song.

[KRTirtho]

I found out the actual issue is Mac OS & iOS CoreAudio not supporting WebMedia codec aka webm, weba & webp in previous versions. Spotube was pulling the audio/webm audio file to get best possible bitrate but it doesn't work on all Macs currently

I've updated the code to pull only audio/mp4 audio in Macs which comes with a downside of having 140 kbps bitrate instead 251 kbps of the audio/webm

Please, pull from git & see if audio works now or not

[nank1ro]

Now it works! Amazing work 💪🥳
Feel free to close this issue cause has been fixed

[KRTirtho]

Glad it worked

@KRTirtho
Am I curious:

1. Are we downloading the songs in " DASH MP4's" codec and renaming the file to .mp3 because of this issue?
2. If so, then why are doing it the wrong way to 'get the things' done?!
