Unable to use spotify, errors on startup

[riemers]

Default install on mac via pip install, which automaticly adds it to my mopidy installation (something brew did not) but i get below error when i start it up with correct username/pwd and enabled. All other features work as expected, audio, web extensions etc etc.

Also don't know where it tries to make a trace file, otherwise that might have showed something?

Updated: Removed ref to unrelated GMusic bug. -jodal

I'm fixing this in one in pyspotify now. New release out soon.

👍

pyspotify 2.0.5 is out now. It should fix this.

Thanks this seems to have fixed that issue. Installed it via pip install -e alreayd, only to get the next hurdle.

ERROR    Spotify login error: <ErrorType.OTHER_PERMANENT: 10>

but nothing on the internet states a root cause for this. But i assume this is coming back from spotify so in reality you cannot help with that am i correct?

[jodal]

That's a login error returned from Spotify's servers through libspotify and pyspotify. Check your username and password, and that you have a premium account. Also watch out for other log messages that might be more helpful.

Comes back with

  libspotify log message: 10:04:22.800 I [offline_authorizer.cpp:297] Unable to login offline: no such user
  libspotify log message: 10:04:22.813 E [ap:1694] AP Socket Error: Host not found (20001)

I am using a proxy here, perhaps that is causing problems?

[jodal]

If you google "AP Socket Error: Host not found (20001)" it seems to be a general problem with Spotify and proxying. Let me know if anything indicates anything wrong in Mopidy-Spotify and/or pyspotify.

I just did a test, with direct connection without any proxy's. It works like a charm, so it has nothing to do with mopidy/psypotify. I also see its connecting through a non default proxy port to get to the AP so that will not work with the proxy in question here. Anyways, thanks for the quick help, i'll resort to other 'internet' connections to get this working.
