All search commands (counsel-spotify-search-album, -track, -artist etc) are failing for me:

Contacting host: accounts.spotify.com:443
cl-no-applicable-method: No applicable method: counsel-spotify-do-play, #s(counsel-spotify-linux-backend #s(counsel-spotify-backend-commands "Play" "PlayPause" "Next" "Previous")), nil

The next/previous/play commands work fine.

My API client and secret are valid since I use them with another spotify client without issue. This is Emacs 27.0.90. I am trying with the official Linux spotify client open, although I would eventually like to use spotifyd.

This is my use-package declaration:

(use-package counsel-spotify
  :ensure
  :commands counsel-spotify-start-search
  :after counsel
  :general
  (:keymaps 'space-menu-map
    "U" '(counsel-spotify-start-search :wk "spotify"))
  :config
  (defun counsel-spotify-start-search ()
    (interactive)
    (counsel-M-x "counsel-spotify-search-"))
  (setq counsel-spotify-service-name "spotify")
  (setq counsel-spotify-client-id my-counsel-spotify-client-id
        counsel-spotify-client-secret my-counsel-spotify-client-secret
        counsel-spotify-use-notifications nil))

The my-counsel-spotify- variables are set elsewhere.

I had an issue while testing this package on Debian. The API calls would work fine, but when sending the commands through dbus, I would get the message:

dbus[4105]: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_member (method)" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 1369.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

I found that the function counsel-spotify-format-play-linux used format to supply the uri. Unfortunately, the escaping of " wasn't working on my computer ((format "OpenUri \"string:%s\"" "test") would return OpenUri \"string:test\" instead of OpenUri "string:test")

Testing with the change

(defun counsel-spotify-format-play-linux (uri)
  "Tell Spotify app to play the given URI."
  (format "OpenUri 'string:%s'" uri))

appears to work fine.

I've noticed that the ivy-interface for searching is very slow and hangs quite a bit when entering input. It feels like a synchronous call to spotify on each character. There also seems to be a bit of a race condition when you enter a string too fast either:

1. Characters are missing
2. The window crashes

I can provide a screen recording on request.

I'm happy to look into fixing this, but wanted to validate whether this is confirmed behaviour first

I get this error:

41:44: execution error: The variable nil is not defined. (-2753)

Hi, I'm pretty confident that this is an issue with my machine, but I'd really appreciate your help in troubleshooting!

All of the counsel-spotify-search- commands give me the error ivy--dynamic-collection-cands: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 0. I've set up an application through the Spotify Developers site to get a client id and secret, and I've set those to counsel-spotify-client-id and counsel-spotify-client-secret. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here...

I've also tried spotify.el and I haven't been able to get that working either, so it likely isn't an issue with your package. I've tried two different spotify accounts, so it's unlikely to be an account-specific issue.

Any ideas what might be going wrong? Thank you!

After search and press RET, it show "Shell command succeded with not output" and no song played

This is a duplicate of #5 but I don't have permission to reopen it.
I have spotify open, but when I do counsel-spotify-play it returns "(Shell command succeeded with no output)".
I'm on emacs 26.3, macOS 10.15.4, and counsel-spotify from melpa.

Dear,

Thanks for this great plugin, the control play, pause, next etc working like a charming,

But when tried to search in Emacs, by invoke cunsel-spotify-search-track etc,

It always shows

helm-M-x: make client process failed: Connection refused, :name, accounts.spotify.com, :buffer, #, :host, 127.0.0.1, :service, 6152, :nowait, nil, :tls-parameters, nil

I can confirm that the client security and client Id setting is correct.

Could you please help to investigate what's wrong on my side?

Related setting is quite simple as below

;;spotify configs
(require 'counsel-spotify)
(setq counsel-spotify-client-id "fae6e6ef787743fea5b649117d9a9b2a")
(setq counsel-spotify-client-secret "7a6b41fdd292498c9ca65a3484f12090")
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c s f") 'counsel-spotify-next)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c s b") 'counsel-spotify-previous)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c s p") 'counsel-spotify-toggle-play-pause) 

Thanks for the help :)

Hi there. Found your package and it's cool!
Looking into the code I've noticed that you make dbus calls with shell-command dbus-send. I'm wondering what is the rationale behind that, considering that emacs has dbus support built-in.

Before installing your package I was using https://github.com/remvee/spotify-el, which implements dbus calls with dbus-call-method. It works fine.
