Okay, after installing v1.2.29 from the Arch Linux repos (which builds directly from git), I'm now getting a different error when I try to refresh my Spotify catalogues. This error may be relevant to why the tracks no longer play.
When I try to refresh any of the catalogues or search an artist with the in-built search function, I now get these errors as a result:
17:43:28.487 ERROR SpotifyRequest:1390 Spotify: "Error transferring https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/albums?include_groups=album201Csingle - server replied with status code 403 (201)"

Clicking on the webpages sends me directly to a page that says this:
{
"error": {
"status": 401,
"message": "Missing/invalid/expired access token"
}
}
Here are the headers:
