Spotify dont play music (hangs on 0:00 or only for 5-6 seconds)

[melasculla]

I don't know what else i have to check, so please can smone help me.

OS: Arch Linux

I'm trying to switch from X11 Plasma KDE to Hyprland (which is wayland) ML4W pack.
All audio works fine but spotify. Even though i can play local files from spotify, internet songs just dont work its either hangs on 0:00 and says can't play this song or palys only 4-6 seconds and then same error

Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.2)
Server Version: 15.0.0

i've tried ask AI and got bunch of advices such as setting GDK_BACKEND=x11 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and more

i've tried spotify and spotify-launcher from aur but neither works

P.S. one time spotify with flatpak has worked somehow (magically) and i was able to run many different songs but after reboot all broke again

P.S.S AI Says it might be DRM issue

Did you tried to clear the cache? For flatpak it would be ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache

I didn't use it in kde, just installed it for hyprland, so no I didn't, I've installed it yesterday

I mean flatpak version

Do you use VPN? Maybe ip was blocked by spotify. Anyway it's not flatpak issue so better ask in spotify forum

No I'm not, I said it works fine in kde

[melasculla]

lol i've cleared cache like you said and it works, but i guess its just for this session, i'll say if all fine tomorrow :3
