Spotify Web-Player broken
-
@paintedbird Something broke in chromium spotify DRM keys
(it affects Brave too, for example).
Sadly - at the moment - only Chrome, Firefox, Edge and MS Store Spotify app will work with it.
//EDIT: And Brave, according to some users. -
i have the same problem in vivaldi, but brave works fine
-
@Gwen-Dragon I've tested with the latest version dug out from Chrome Portable, and copied into the Vivaldi WidevineCdm directory. Confirmed the version in components was updated. Still the same error, the call to
https://gew-spclient.spotify.com/widevine-license/v1/audio/licensefails with a http 403.But Spotify does works in Chrome with the same DLL, so it's a license code issue, not a Widevine version issue. The same call returns a http 200 there...
-
@Gwen-Dragon Sad. So this shouldn't be considered a
wontfixor apipeline?Wondering if it'd be useful to keep a sticky list on troubleshoot with broken DRM sites as spotify/amazon HD to avoid having a lot of threads on the question.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Nice to hear that even if the
payed accessscare me a bit ^^,
I suggested the change as the solution don't seem to be near anymore from an user point of view
-
@Gwen-Dragon Thanks for the update. Did they say what the cause of the issue was?
-
@Gwen-Dragon Thanks. Even though I don't use Spotify that much, I was curious what would cause the issue for such a big site in many browsers.
-
I don't use Spotify often in Vivaldi, but I tried it this week and it seems to be back to the same problem.
-
@Gwen-Dragon On Win10 with the current release version, so I guess there's some other variable, but the skipping is the same as 3.4.
-
@rseiler Have you tried in a clean profile or a clean standalone install?
https://help.vivaldi.com/article/troubleshooting-issues/For me on Windows 10 20H2 it works fine, both my standard snapshot and stable with clean profile.

@Pathduck Yes, but it would have been very odd if some other issue produced the same skipping result as before.
Perhaps it's the version of Windows (this is a later build), what's being played, the login, or something else. I'm sure someone else will chime in eventually, but when I use Spotify I tend to just open Firefox to avoid surprises.

@rseiler On the page
vivaldi://componentscheck the version of Widevine Content Decryption Module.Mine is Version: 4.10.1610.0 If older check for updates.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Yes, same here.
-
@rseiler Try opening DevTools (F12) and then try to play a song. In the original problem, the XHR POST requests to
https://gew-spclient.spotify.com/widevine-license/failed with a 403 (denied) error.Are you getting these in the log and are they failing or returning 200 (OK)?
Anything else failing?🎻Volunteer helper · Forum moderator · Sopranos tester 🛠️Troubleshooting 🐛Report a bug 📜Markdown help

@Pathduck This time it's a succession of 502 (Bad Gateway) errors, but still pointing to Widevine and an apparent expired license:
The Response tab shows 500:
"error: {status: 502, message: "Backend respond with 500"}}"

@rseiler Which Vivaldi version are you using?
