Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_C85668DF69375001.gpg | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

The current line Exec=spotify --uri=%u doesn't work properly on my system (Sway, Wayland).
It seems that xdg-utils doesn't support field code placeholders like %u unless they are passed as separate arguments — it ends up calling:

spotify --uri=%u spotify:track:7GhIk7Il098yCjg4BQjzvb

This causes Spotify to ignore the URI entirely.

Interestingly, --uri= appears to be unnecessary. Simply using:

Exec=spotify %u

works fine.

You can test this behaviour directly via:

spotify spotify:track:7GhIk7Il098yCjg4BQjzvb

and then verify the fix with:

xdg-open spotify:track:7GhIk7Il098yCjg4BQjzvb

after modifying the .desktop file.

Clearing ~/.cache/spotify does indeed fix the problem

@Av32000 I had this same behaviour and after deleting ~/.config/spotify and ~/.cache/spotify, it worked again. It may be that only deleting the cache is necessary, which would save you having to log in again.

@Antiz thank you!

Yes it also no longer works for me either as of the last update

Spotify won't launch since the last update (8bfa85f9d3da). When I execute the binary, it stops instantly without any message and with error code 1 (echo $?).

Same problem with the spotify-launcher of pacman

All my packages are up to date and I have Clean Build with yay without error.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm getting the error: could not extract /opt/spotify/libcef.so (Truncated tar archive detected while reading data) trying to install version 1:1.5.56.502-1 of the package. Is it just me?

==> Checking for packaging issues... libfakeroot internal error: payload not recognized! ==> Creating package "spotify"...

Anyone else getting this?
