<![CDATA[Spotify - Switching to access token]]>In the latest code from git I switched to using access token for streaming with Spotify.
The gstreamer spotify plugin needs to be patched with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/1801
I've updated the instructions here: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Installing_GStreamer_Spotify_plugin
If someone with a subscription could test it would be great, thanks.

After compiling the code from git streaming from Spotify works.

Using 1.1.3 won't work, I made the change because Spotify dropped support for username and password.

However, now I cannot reproduce songs anymore. I have a premium subscription and I have authenticated in the settings menu. After authentication I can see that Strawberry is listed within the authorized applications in my Spotify account. I have followed your latest instructions including the patch and recompiled the gstreamer spotify plugin. When trying to play a song I get the following error in Strawberry:

Could not get/set settings from/on resource.

I can play the very same song using

gst-launch-1.0 spotifyaudiosrc access-token=$TOKEN track=spotify:track:139Bu2BWsQfVDixXMYos5W ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink

as access-token I use the one in ~/.config/strawberry/strawberry.conf within the Spotify section.

I am using strawberry 1.1.3 as provided in debian/unstable
