Relatively new user here--back using Spotify after a long layoff just trying it out a few years ago. The app works fine, but I was testing the browser "Web Player" to see if friends could use it to hear my playlists. It worked last week with a different look but now I am getting this error in the last couple of days--see attached screenshot. I've been reading that the Web Player is in transition--not sure what the difference in look is between the old and the new. I am using Firefox on Linux Lite; I also have the same issue on Chromium. Flash Player is up to date--also saw that Widevine might be in play now. I have cleared cache/cookies and tried both browsers with extensions/addons disabled--still no luck. This is my first post in the community. Feedback is appreciated. Have a great day!

Lots of folks are having trouble. I've found something that works for me on my new Linux setup, but it may work for others--as it appears to be a browser issue.

tock?
Pfffft!

I have the same issue. Can you post the solution?
Reposting: What I shared that worked for me, post was titled: Web Player Workaround
Setup where I had the problem: Firefox (also Chromium) on Linux Lite
I login using Facebook.
Workarounds: Firefox User-Agent Switcher [OR] Chrome User-Agent Switcher set to Microsoft Edge
See attached screenshot.
The last row in the panel UI is dedicated for the control options including a button (at the lower left) to change the UA to its default value.
You can specify a particular URL or domain so that UA is only applied to that URL or domain (read FAQ for detailed description). For this Spotify issue: in the box at the bottom where it says all_urls, replace that with spotify.com. The extension/addon remembers it for future broswer sessions.
