Transfer playback returns 500

chatziko — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 11:55:43 GMT

Hello,

I'm calling the transfer playback method of the Web API and always get a 500 response. Other methods seem to work fine. Is this a server issue or am I doing somethign wrong?

curl --request PUT --url https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player --header "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "device_ids": ["<DEVICE>"]}'

{
"error" : {
"status" : 500,
"message" : "Server error."
}
}

Did you include the user-modify-playback-state scope while requesting the access token?

Thanks for the response, yes I did. In fact, when I remove user-modify-playback-state I get 401, but with it I get 500.

Btw my code was working fine for months, it started failing in the past few weeks.

Hi, did you ever find a fix for this?
