Spotify Player no longer remembers current playlist, etc

[rlees85]

Describe the bug
Previously, Spotify Player used to remember the playlist it was playing. If I was to quit Spotify Player and open it again later on or the next day, it would know the song and playlist from where it left off and continue playing.

Now, for a while (since 0.20 at least) it does not. Whenever Spotify Player is opened it has the message "No playback found. Please start a new playback." From here I have to search for the playlist again and start from the very beginning.

At first I thought it was corruption on my side but I have removed Spotify Players configuration and cache folders and started from the beginning - the problem remains.

To Reproduce

• Open Spotify Player
• Search for a playlist
• Play a few songs
• Quit
• Re-open Spotify Player
• All state is completely lost

Expected behaviour
For the current song that was playing to be remembered along with the playlist.

Log and backtrace
Log from opening up picking a playlist playing a song for a while and then quitting. The last line is simply this:

  47   │ 2024-12-17T11:07:59.507829Z  INFO client_request{request=GetCurrentUserQueue}: spotify_player::client: Successfully handl
       │ ed the client request, took: 188ms

Implying that no state or anything special was stored. All the other entries before were to do with searching for a playlist and playing something, which worked just fine.

... and when loading back in and getting nothing, these are the logs:

Additional context
I can see its moaning about Spotify connect. This was NOT needed before however!

[rlees85]

I set up Spotify Connect it makes 0 difference anyway.

Previously, Spotify Player used to remember the playlist it was playing. If I was to quit Spotify Player and open it again later on or the next day, it would know the song and playlist from where it left off and continue playing.

I also realized this. Don't think it's a bug but an intended behaviour. I suspect the new librespot version, which we upgraded to recently, doesn't support the above "remember" feature anymore.

Kind of glad that its not just me. That would certainly make sense. I guess I raise an issue over there, not sure exactly how to word it mind.

I'm normally using playlists with 1000 or so items in them, so its kind of a pain to keep going back to the start 😅
