Not working with spotifyd

[vv9k]

Hi, I'm currently trying to get spotify-tui to work with spotifyd. spt sees the currently playing song by spotifyd@MyPC but won't allow me to control the daemon because of this error:

Error
Api response: Spotify API reported an error
If you are trying to play a track make sure the official spotify app is open

My spotifyd is installed from AUR.
kernel: 5.3.4-arch1-1-ARCH

↳spotifyd --version
spotifyd 0.2.18

↳spt --version
spotify-tui 0.4.0

↳systemctl status --user spotifyd

Hmm... I need to try myself.

Perhaps you've already done this, but have you selected spotifyd as a "device"?

Does spotifyd show up when you press d?

Well now it is indeed working as intended :) thanks for the quick reply! Love the idea behind the app and how snappy it is! I've been wanting to write one like this myself one day :)

[Rigellute]

Great to hear! And thank you 🙏

Do we have to select the device on each use?

Great software thanks!

[Rigellute]

The last selected device ID is cached (you can see it in ~/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml), so you shouldn't need to select it on each use.

Just make sure that device is active if you're having playback issues.

And thank you!

For me spotifyd doesn't show up on the device list?
