My Question or Issue

Friends, see, a successful sequence, the access_token is just retrieved, but when player.connect()
is executed, internally it uses a websocket
It returns with a 'Too many attempts', while this cannot be the case.

Please suggestions.

Note: client_credentials flow is being used in my case. code flow -works- but I need client_credentials!

Hey @egbertn, the client credentials flow is not compatible with the Web Playback SDK. This SDK is meant for Spotify Premium users authenticated through a flow like the authorization code flow with PKCE.

Thanks, how long is the refresh_token valid in case of authorization code flow?

I already see, that the solution we want is not possible since we want background music and spotify does not support this.
