play-pause not working with spotifyd (the pausing part)

[Nicceboy]

I am not sure if spotifyd is officially supported, but it works pretty well with playerctl.

However, there is one command playerctl play-pause which does not pause when attempting to pause the media. Also other variations are not working e.g.

─➤  G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=playerctl playerctl --player spotifyd play-pause
(playerctl:3131): playerctl-DEBUG: 02:22:35.285: Getting list of player names from D-Bus
(playerctl:3131): playerctl-DEBUG: 02:22:35.286: Playerctld is running. Getting names from there.
(playerctl:3131): playerctl-DEBUG: 02:22:35.286: Getting list of player names from D-Bus
(playerctl:3131): playerctl-DEBUG: 02:22:35.751: initializing player: spotifyd

Starting of playing works with the same command, and other commands I have tried so far.
Pausing works with playerctl pause

I'm using the latest package from Arch repository

─➤  pacman -Qs playerctl
local/playerctl 2.4.1-1
    mpris media player controller and lib for spotify, vlc, audacious, bmp, xmms2, and others.

playerctl --player spotifyd play
playerctl --player spotifyd pause workig fine
playerctl play-pause not working for me.

And I think It's related with Spotifyd Bug 1018

Okay. It seems that we need to wait for upstream fix then!

This is fixed on the upstream now.
