      Just started using Strawberry recently, I compiled and got the gstreamer plugin working for Spotify streaming, and it can play & query Spotify songs just fine, but when listening to a Spotify song, i can't seem to be able to use the seek bar at all, is this just a limitation imposed by Spotify or is something going wrong?

      The logs in the console when running Strawberry from the terminal just print
      WARN GstEngine:740 Seek failed
      when I try to interact with the seek bar.

        @SuperDot Sorry, forgot to clarify that this is on an Arch Linux distro, in case that is important

          I'm on Solus and also have this problem. Crazy how a months-old problem doesn't have a single reply. Do developers not use this forum and it's left entirely to users speaking into the void at each other?

            I believe this is normal, seeking isn't supported with Spotify.
            Strawberry mainly has one developer me, so it's not possible for me to reply to everything, there are too many issues to reply to.
