Spotify Auth Error preventing downloading of songs about freyr-js HOT 9 CLOSED

The login and authentication process is now broken because Spotify introduced account whitelists for developer tokens.

Freyr comes pre-authenticated with a refresh and access token to an already whitelisted Spotify account.

If authentication validation ever fails, freyr will (based on the former logic) attempt to prompt the user for authentication. But that won't help when your account isn't whitelisted.

Two possible solutions here;

1. Delete the local, persisted config file.

   • $HOME/.config/FreyrCLI/d3fault.x4p on Linux
   • %home%\AppData\Roaming\FreyrCLI\d3fault.x4p on Windows
   • $HOME/Library/Preferences/FreyrCLI/d3fault.x4p on macOS

   Freyr will then recreate this on the next run. Using the pre-authenticated credentials.

2. Create your own developer token, and whitelist your own account.

The credentials in the previous releases have been revoked. While a new version is (yet) to be published, you can reinstall freyr from source.

npm install miraclx/freyr-js

from freyr-js.

This solution didn't work for me, I still get

  [•] Awaiting user authentication...

Then it just hangs at "Awaiting user authentication".

It worked for me thanks. Instead of downloading from npm or docker I just cloned the repo and installed all from source

Do you mean cloning the repo and building it with npm install and npm link? That didn't work for me either :( I still get the invalid_client error and no user authentication.

Just cloned the latest from the repo. Used 'npm install' and 'npm link'.
Apple & Deezer works, but Spotify still asking for user authentication.

After installing it via cloning the repo directly, it now works as expected for Spotify!

@fmsidoe @honanduc when running freyr did the version number change from v0.9.0 to v0.9.1? It may be that it didn't replace the previous installation properly. Try uninstalling freyr and then installing it via the repo.

@CunningCheese version 0.9.1, i always use the latest from the repo. Just used it again:

freyr spotify:track:5FNS5Vj69AhRGJWjhrAd01

@fmsidoe hmmmm, that's so strange. I've tried to replicate the problem with the v0.9.1 in the header, but no luck.

I've got two/three things you can maybe try:
(1) Cloning the repo and then manually editing the conf.json file and replacing the Spotify client secrets with the new ones

      "clientId": "3ee9cf67e90346a191bfe735581a5aa0",
      "clientSecret": "14206998339649fabd3c4057b84edbf2",
      "refreshToken": "AQCbeNs5NiGfHa6He0BlOdoQwEIdo2lwBmefEvpvqVy8WlL2HV7rmGbb30_oaZHMDf9MgXtGjI0gV_QukL33PE8c2bGqJHeMqdHBUjKWhxOW19snJkGUiyxen8UvmDG-OP4"

then running npm install and npm link

(2) this is probably not going to work, but if you previously connected your Spotify account to freyr when it redirected you to the browser: go to your Spotify Apps page and remove freyr from there, then it may possibly solve the issue.

(3) this is probably the most obvious one, but if you installed freyr from another source (like Docker) or manually built it or manually put its executable in $PATH, clear it out first, and then try installing it again. But you probably already did this.
