Odd Device Switching Behavior | Spicetify | Page 1

Having extremely odd spotify switch behavior, sometimes switch off a second device onto my main will cause my spotify to completely grey out, and switch the audio for a split second then switch it back, I can't seem to capture the bug on camera, but it just happens when trying to switch from a device that is not the device you're trying to switch to usually (device with green bar below, and you try to switch the audio to it) I'm going to try to reproduce it but maybe someone might have better luck reproducing it than me, and maybe get some errors that could be caught to?

(Some of the video attached is irrelevant, but at the start you can see an issue with the grey screen spotify)

Spotify for Windows (32 bit)
1.2.33.1042.g26c92729
Spicetify v2.36.10

(Both PCs version stuff)

this doesnt sound like a spice issue

grave knoll May 5, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

definitely isn't

fresh tartan May 5, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

ive noticed spotify fails to load the #main element in its entirety if you startup spotify minimized sometimes

#

dunno if thats relevant

glacial locust May 5, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

if its not then all hope is lost because i can't update past this version NOOO

spotify's fault

#

the only reason i posted this here is that it feels similar to the issue that was happening that prevented a bunch of different actions

#

including device switching

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

@grave knoll I'm not crazy! It is a spicetify issue, it occurs when spotify is playing its own reccomended after running out of songs in a playlist!

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

Perhaps it's related to logging shit again

#

open devtools

#

show errors

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

grave knoll open devtools

how?

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

spicetify enable-devtools

#

right click anywhere in spotify

#

click inspect

#

go to console

#

do this thing where you get black screen

#

and ss the console history

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

tho i actually cannot reproduce it btw xD

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

Steps I found to reproduce easily: make playlist with one song, start playing, click next, you are in bug mode kekDog

#

oddly enough on macOS it doesn't grey screen, it simply just doesn't switch and causes this state of spotify

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

i cannot get autoplay to work

#

omfg

#

no it actually works fine

#

It played recommended song I switched to my phone

#

and it still works

#

but it's probably because you're on some old ass version

#

on what version are you?

#

1.2.33?

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

The issue occurs when reccomended is playing on another device and you try switch to the main device

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

grave knoll 1.2.33?

yes

I already did - nothing

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

let's see

#

uhhhh i don't have premium tho lmao so i can't get autoplay to work on mobile

#

I mean i can move it

#

from desktop

#

but not execute it from mobile

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

its when moving to desktop that the issue happens

#

if its autoplaying reccomended

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

Still no issue tho

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

Man

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

let me show

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

is there maybe something different about my spotify settings?

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

grave knoll

the recommended started playing on your PC tho Thinkge

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

I already told you that I cannot get recommended to work on mobile

#

omfg

#

because i do not have premium

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

do you not have a spare PC?

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

no

#

and i don't wanna bother installing spotify on my steam deck

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

if you want you can parsec into my system for testing OMEGALUL

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

uhhh

#

alright

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

actually i get the issue in the order you're not having the problem with too

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

i mean i can debug it on your end but yea

#

if you don't have this issue on macos

#

it sounds like corrupted spotify installation

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

the issue does still occur on macOS, just less significantly

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

aha

#

i mean i can parsec to you

#

if yo uwant

#

and check

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 6:58 PM

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:08 PM

#

my spotify installation is like 3 days old, i can't imagine it would be that, and i have re run the installer yes, but if there is a different way to reinstall i haven't done any "deep" reinstalls

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

doesn't make sense xd

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

it just shit itself while starting a song on my macbook OMEGALUL

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

let me enable logging

#

in cli

#

and see this way

#

awwwww i can't drag and drop?

#

sadge

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

over parsec? no, not unless you are parsecing into your own systems i think

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:11 PM

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

oh, i did just realize something, idk if this is helpful, by beautiful lyrics was fullscreened on my other PC the whole time

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

eeeeeeee

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

idk how ur running beautiful lyrics

#

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

1.2.33

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

or older spotify version

#

but works fine on latest for me, so when the update comes out in a few days u can retry it

#

and if it still is happening

#

then ill look into it more

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

would you be willing to share the build of it for latest? i could try it now, i'd be more than happy to be on latest spotify client

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

id rather u just wait lol

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

understandable, but this bug has been quite a bother

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

his code is so complicated that i probably wouldn't find the cause of it

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

I don't even know what the cause of it would be tbh

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:29 PM

#

something needs context

#

in your code

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:29 PM

honestly I don't even know whats happening in the video

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:29 PM

#

and that something executes after switching devices

gloomy meadow May 7, 2024, 7:29 PM

#

well I changed almost every file besides lyrics rendering

#

so either I fixed it accidentally by refactoring

#

or something

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

we will see

#

if not

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

Playing something on a different device, spotify goes to auto playling (greyed out shuffle and repeat) i try to pull it to my main PC

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

then well

#

we will see

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

i attract the oddest bugs

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

i mean bug is totally valid

#

but yea i don't wanna dig into his code rn

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

im just happy i found a way to reproduce to prove im not crazy OMEGALUL

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

for a second i thought because it didn't happen for me

glacial locust May 7, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

grave knoll for a second i thought because it didn't happen for me

at least having reload with dev tools is helpful, solves the pain of actually closing spotify every time kekDog

#

also completely unrelated, but i don't wanna open an extra ticket, not sure if its a macOS issue, but spicetify updating application do be a bit different behaviour on macOS

grave knoll May 7, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

that's spotify normal thingy
