Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_6224F9941A8AA6D1.gpg  | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

@tzotzi, great find! Thanks!

Had the same issue as @spindyckx and @thiagomei but was able to fix it by deleting the cache with rm -rf $HOME/.cache/spotify.

Having the same issue as @spindyckx. I downgraded to 1.2.8.923 but it also did not work, indicating it's not an issue with the packages(?).

Just set the values according to http://repository.spotify.com/dists/testing/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages:

pkgver='1.2.9.743'
_commit=g85d9593d

and update 3rd element of sha512sums to 3939213b1f7a2776000417e48fec84aebb8b1f4156b3521542c9b901b4e78f4ff00d9d20c77747ae67bde75a4a36dabc5a3e5e431aef66207b6a8b264e58c9e5

Also as a future etiquette thing, if you're going to post long logs post it via an external site like hastebin or zerobin so it doesn't take up half the page

I'm getting A failure occurred in prepare when I try to build. I also tried running extra-x86_64-build, but got the same error.
