Cant play "Liked" songs

[Hugo01]

Playing Songs from library works just fine except on the "liked" cattegory
You click to play a song and nothing happens

[kraxarn]

Do you get any error message?
Are you running the latest stable version or directly from git?
What version of Qt are you running and what operating system?

[Hugo01]

No error message;
Running version 2.6-1, downloaded using AUR package "yay -S spotify-qt";
Qt version 5.15.0;
Manjaro 20.0.3;

Same here, with message "Failed to start playback, invalid context uri".

App version: | v2.6
Current desktop: | X-Cinnamon
LSB release: | Manjaro Linux
Linux version: | 5.7.10-1-MANJARO
Qt version: | 5.15.0

Is this a regression from v2.6? Did it work in v2.5?
Issue seems to be related to when the current option in library isn't selected anymore, but the page is still loaded. As a workaround, selected the "Liked" option in library again and make sure it's selected and it should work again.

I'm having the same issue; attempting to play any song from Liked Songs creates error Failed to start playback, invalid context uri

Your workaround works, though @kraxarn 👍

[philippgerard]

The workaround doesn't work for me (unless I misunderstand the instructions, but my flow is super-simple: start the application, select "Liked", pick any song, double click to start playback, error.

I believe this error existed also in the previous version, but I can't be certain anymore, sorry.

[philippgerard]

P.S.: In the latest release the error message now reads Failed to start playback: Player command failed: Restriction violated. Just in case this helps narrow it down further.

[kraxarn]

Try single clicking a track and not double clicking. "Restriction violated" errors seems to happen if you try to play the same track twice. Either way, it's probably a separate issue, but if that resolves it, I'll just add a double click check.

It also happens when I single click and yields the same message.

@philippgerard Try the latest update and see if the issue still occurs. If it does, please open a new issue as it's unrelated to this.
