It stoped working

It stoped working for me, I'm getting these error messages:

Look at the last line. It literally says “bad credentials” there. Renew the authentication and it’ll work again.

Can you explain how I can do that? I have tried everything, even creating a new account and the problem persist.

Depends on how you set it up initially.
If you used docker, I would recommend to delete the container which authenticated you at Spotify, create the new “spotify.rc”-file with your credentials:
mkdir -p /tmp/spodcast

echo 'spotify_username spotify_password' > /tmp/spodcast/spotify.rc

Then set up a new container with:
docker run -it -v /tmp/spodcast:/data heywoodlh/spodcast -c /data/spodcast.json --root-path /data/html --log-level info --credentials-location /data/creds.json -p -l /data/spotify.rc

I tried this, but unfortunately the problem still persists. Is your container working normally? After all the steps a got this log:

I have encountered a similar problem.

Is it possible that you have special characters in your password? For example, $ characters are interpreted by docker-compose and therefore do not make it into the configuration of spodcast.

For example, if your password contains a symbol like $, you probably have the default docker-compose.yml file set up something similar to this:

  - SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=$abcde!fghi
  - SPOTIFY_USERNAME=user@mail.com

however, since the $ characters are interpreted by docker-compose and there is like no variable $abcde present, only the string after another special or limiting character is passed to the enviroment:

expected spotify.rc content:
user@mail.com $abcde!fghi

actual spotify.rc content:
user@mail.com !fghi

Recommended solution:
You must escape special characters, e.g. escape $ signs by replacing them with $$.

Edit: I just tested it, and you also need to escape the $ for the shell I guess?
So for the example used:

- SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=$abcde!fghi
becomes
- SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=\$$abcde!fghi

Padok the problem was a "." in my password. Thank you very much for the help!!

I'm too getting the BadCredentials error. Credentials stored in the .rc file and are correct. Also checked for special characters. Is the authentication still working with Spotify?

No, Spotify removed username/password login, see #46
