@rat120
What version of gst-plugins-rs do you have?
The GStreamer Spotify plugin needs librespot 0.8 to play tracks, which is in version 0.14.4 and newer.

The issue could also occur if you don't have a premium subscription.

@jonas yeah im really bad with this stuff and dont know what this means where do i go for that?

@rat120

Open a terminal and run gst-inspect-1.0 spotify

I can't find that Linux Mint (which is basically Ubuntu) has gst-plugins-rs or GStreamer Spotify Plugin at all, I checked http://packages.linuxmint.com/ and https://packages.ubuntu.com/

Hi
I am running strawberry v1.2.31 and gst-plugin-spotify v0.15.4 and experiencing the same issue. As far as I can tell it happens for every song. I have tried updating to the newest version in Arch repositories and logging in again in the strawberry app, but it didn't seem to change anything. I have also checked that I have a Spotify premium subscription.
