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 :)

@lrmb I'm having the same issue.
Also, when I start spotify I can't close it, and it's using a lot of CPU.
(Using pkill, kill, killall didn't work, I had to send it SIGSEGV to make it stop)

I am on X11 btw.
I have tried opening it on KDE (X11) and DWM, and it happens on both.

EDIT: It turns out it didn't work because DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS was set to /dev/null Setting it to something like: unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus Fixed it in my case. I did this by placing these two lines in my startx script: export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$UID" export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus"

@lrmb, no I use it daily, there most likely is some kind of error on your side ... Are you using wayland perhaps?

Also you could try to start spotify from the cli to see if there is any useful output there :)

Running spotify from this package shows an empty window and then nothing happens, no welcome or login screen. I wonder if it might have something to do with the latest change about setting custom flags.

I've been occasionally getting this error just from this package, some updates have gone through (it's not consistent).

Spotify seems to have a tray icon now but presumably the icon is not installed since I can only see the space where it's supposed to be in my tray.

Can this be fixed please?

If spotify is minimized to tray, you can't un-minimize it from tray. If you launch spotify again in this state, playback will stop. This is because spotify is launched with option --uri= by .desktop file. So, I modified .desktop file with just %U instead of --uri=%U, and /usr/bin/spotify as follows:

commline="$@"
[[ ${#commline} > 0 && "${commline:0:2}" != "--" ]] && commline="--uri=$commline"

# Launch Spotify with the given flags
exec /opt/spotify/spotify "${SPOTIFY_USER_FLAGS[@]}" "$commline"

@gromit yup i did, ended up using debtap to install the app from a debian binary

I'm getting a grey screen with nothing loading with the newest version of both this pkg and the spotify-launcher pkg. Not sure what both have in common, but I've pasted relevant info in an issue on the spotify-launcher's github, since that's where I experienced it first (and the output to the terminal is the exact same). As stated in the github issue, I am able to use an older version of this pkg without issue in the meantime.

I'm guessing I'm just missing something obvious, or maybe I have a dependency issue, not sure.

EDIT: it was not something obvious, but I did finally figure it out, nothing to do with spotify, even if spotify was the only thing affected on my system. For a full write-up and resolution, check out the aforementioned issue I opened on the spotify-launcher github.

TLDR: code green, false alarm.

my Song Changes Notifications only show for the first 1-2 songs I played, and I have to click Close Button on Notification to keep it coming. my System: KDE with X11, 6.5.5-AMD-znver2 Kernel

@phoenix277yt did you try to also build as the pinned comment advises (with devtools in a clean chroot)? Most likely this is an error with your AUR helper.

Generally the package builds just fine for me and the type of error suggests that you are only missing the gpg key and not that this would need changes from the packaging side.
