update: it is possible to fix with custom clientID and secret. I have my own fork in which it works (a slimmed down version only ment for use with spotify and webui in docker), and I use AI to help me code ... Probably the code is shit for real programmers, but it works for me :)

Devs can maybe look at the last few commits to see how it can be fixed ...
Involves getting your own client_id and secret on https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard and adding it to the settings page ...

Hi,

I've installed the web-ui from your fork in a docker, got the spotify client_id and client_secret, but cannot manage to connect my spotify account even if I added the client_id and client_secret in the otsconfig.json, is there anything else to change?

[benjaminfrombe]

first you need to copy your spotify account from the desktop onthespot app in otsconfig.json, did you do that ?

[seiferprod]

Yes I connected my spotify account to the desktop app and then I copied the otsconfig.json so my docker access it

[benjaminfrombe]

and exactly what doesn't work ? search ? that do the logs say ? - maybe start an issue on my repo not to mess up this one :)

[seiferprod]

The docker is working but I cannot add a spotify account, even if I have copied every folder from windows appdata to the docker. Do I need a premium spotify account for it to work? because I always used a free account with ots and it worked with no problem

[benjaminfrombe]

hmmm, should work with regular account to I think.
