I published another fix - it was now talking about data missing. Which is weird since it works with me - but AI suggested something that was worth a try! You can try again after updating.

Thanks for trying! Unfortunately without the result i was hoping for. Can it be because i have spotify directly playing on my reciever?

Not sure - the error is still about the request to the search API. That should be an easy fix usually.

I’m gonna need to validate that it works on my end first. If that works or not hopefully gives a bit more context I can work with. I can’t tell you when I find the time to do so.

No problem!

Thanks for looking into it!

Hi @pendojoshua ,

I just received this mail from Spotify. Currently i’m using your App , especially your widget to quickly play music on my Spotify Connect device. Recently the widget is not working anymore, I see continously “search failed”

Today I received an email from Spotify. Do you think this will have impact on the app? And for me specifically the widget area?

I’ve thought about that too. It’s possible, but looking at the changelog there isn’t anything that can interfere with the app. But who knows. “Luckily”, I get the error on my device too. So I can debug without any help. I’ll look into it asap.

/Edit:

There indeed have been updates to the search API. At first sight just a minor thing that feels like just bugging people: the search limit was decreased to max. 10 results per page. I’m currently changing the code to reflect that limit and hopefully that works.

/Edit 2:

Decreasing the limit worked - I’ve released a new version. I’m going to look into adding pagination to the results, since a limit on 10 results will prevent users from finding the song they’re after from time to time.

I’ve just published another version with a small suprise: a load more button at the end and filter options on top to choose track, artist, album or playlist as search target.

Awesome! I’m having something to play with tonight

Thank you Joshua!

Thanks for the update! It’s working perfect
