SpotifyLocalAPIClass times out when running local example project about spotifyapi-net HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey,

Actually, I can't test it myself at the moment, since the SpotifyWebHelper is crashing everytime I want to make calls to it. (IDK why it happens yet)

The "Not found" message is expected, it pretty much says the WebHelper is running (else Chrome would display an error)

@JohnnyCrazy, based on your response I get the feeling you're seeing what I'm running into as well. I have a simple app using your library that primarily just waits for events whenever a track changes. However, it quickly starts to no longer get events as a result of SpotifyWebHelper no longer running (possibly crashing). I'm assuming this isn't something you've seen happen much previously?

@gusper
I noticed that too, but I'm unable to find any reason why it would crash yet. (It's also occuring randomly)

Could you try these Steps:

• Close spotify and the API-Testproject
• Comment out the RunSpotifyWebhelper method in the API-Testproject
• Start spotify normally (SpotifyWebHelper should be running after this)
• Start the API-Testproject

This worked for me, maybe you are not allowed to start the WebHelper manually

Did some searching and mostly came up empty. However, I did find that there's a beta desktop client available now and it uses a SpotifyBetaWebHelper.exe instead. If I get some time, I might test adding support for it as well to see if the issue around SpotifyWebHelper.exe disappearing has been fixed.

Just sent you a PR with support for it. Will now test whether or not the beta version of spotifybetawebhelper.exe is more stable.
