error: cant login spotify

[unazikx]

ERR: spotify: list playlists: http status 403 Forbidden: { "error" : { "status" : 403, "message" : "Spotify is unavailable in this country" } }

Is Spotify available in Russia?

[unazikx]

I bought premium, on mobile and desktop I can use without VPN, ncspot and spotify-player also works, only cliap doesn't works

[bjarneo]

I think I found it.

cliamp uses the Spotify Web API (api.spotify.com) for playlist/track metadata, which is geo-blocked in Russia. But audio streaming uses go-librespot's native protocol (spclient.wg.spotify.com), which is NOT geo-blocked, same as ncspot and spotify-player.

I'll test an implementation to see if we can work around this

[bjarneo]

Can you test this branch? build the client locally and give it a spin: #75

[unazikx]

ok, 6h after now, now im sleep

[unazikx]

fuck, i forgot, wait a moments pls

[unazikx]

yes, playlists visible, songs plays?
but liked songs and daylist not visible

[LucaNerlich]

getting the (Almost) same error after successful login and when hitting enter on a playlist. I can see the authentication json in my cliamp config.

spotify: list tracks: http status 403 Forbidden: {"error": {"status": 403, "message": "Forbidden" } }

I am located in Germany. Spotify Dev App and redirect looks correct. I have a Premium Family account.

Ah, it seems like I cant play playlists, which Ive not created myself / are 'shared'? I am not quite sure, however, of all the playlists shown, only very few (the ones ive created myself) work, the others throw a 403.

[bjarneo]

There are a few errors regarding playlists that are not your own.

As for the initial error, it is restrictions using the API if you are from, e.g., Russia.
