Can't connect to Spotify, try again now (webplayer)

Plaske — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:25:58 GMT

Hi there,

After a while I got the message in topic. I use Ubuntu and Firefox 50.1.0.

Hitting the F5 button solves (sometimes) the problem for about a song of 3.

Any sollutions to the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

I found an easy workaround for this issue. If you're using Chrome simply use SetupVPN or any Proxy or VPN you like, connect to Australia, refresh the page and disconnect and then refresh the page back again. Hope this helps. I guess Spotify is restricting the access to different countries, but I don't know.

Thanks for the tips but no go concerning the cache.

Now installed the Spotify client for Linux.

Keep you posted

A temporary fix that has worked for others is to access web player via this link: https://play.spotify.com/?ap=wss://sjc1-linkap-a3.ap.spotify.com:443

Just keeps trying to connect.

Says can't connect to spotify, trying again.

But it just keeps loading. Been doing this for 30 minutes.

Tried 3 browsers and deleted browser history.
