My Question or Issue
2 days ago I opened Spotify and was greeted with the blue box on the bottom left corner of the window saying "Offline". I was busy and didn't want to waste time debugging it so I just opened the web app and used Spotify through there.
Today I decided to take a look at it. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling so I did it. When I opened it again I was greeted with the Login screen, so I clicked the button, got redirected to my browser where I inserted my account credentials and got redirected to a page confirming the authentication.
But I didn't get authenticated. I first found it odd because I was expecting the browser to issue and xdg-open command, which it didn't and my suspicion was confirmed when I returned back to the Spotify app and nothing happened.
I decided to try to find out what was going on, so I simulated the authentication again. I inserted my credentials and, while monitoring the network activity of the authentication tab, I pressed the "Continue to the App" button. In the network traffic there was a GET request to a local server.
I investigated with netstat and sure enough, it's Spotify...
Keep in mind that I'm using privacy add-ons, but that shouldn't prevent anything as I have joined zoom meetings through the browser with no problem.
In fact, I this problem only surfaced 2 days ago and I've had these add-ons for quite a while.
Also, I have access to the authentication code, is there a way to send a signal to spotify to
PS: I have tried disabling the add-ons and still can't authenticate.
Solved! Go to Solution.
