Spotify Linux crashes when listening to particular artists

[proteusvacuum]

Hi, I've been having a weird problem with the spotify for linux client on Ubuntu 15.10

Whenever I try to listen to any songs by the artist Fugazi, the player exits with a SIGSEV in strchr() (i.e. a segfault). Spotify client is at the latest version, this doesn't happen any other times other than any song by Fugazi.

😞

Hey @proteusvacuum,

Welcome to Spotify Community!

Can you give me the output of 

spotify --version

Thank you!

Hey @proteusvacuum,

Can you try the 1.0.27 build that you can find here and let me know if the issue persists?

Local files playback is quite unstable. Do you have Fugazi as local files and Spotify finds and play those instead?

[proteusvacuum]

Hey @jooon, yes, I did have local files. Turning that off in the settings fixed it.

hey @Dreadlord, that build didn't fix the issue, but @jooon's suggestion did.
