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 :)

@Antiz Thank you very much! :)

@lsigma Thanks for the insight, I updated the parameter from %U to %u ;)

@kotofyt, what error are you getting? Because it works fine for me :)

Doesn't work correctly with kernel version 6.13.1.arch1-1

Thanks for creating the package!

In the PKGBUILD, the Exec field gets patched with parameter for an URL (%U). According to the Desktop file spec, %u would be the more appropiate variable; using %U in a flag is not allowed in the spec. This would make the resulting Desktop file comply with the spec (hopefully without changing the behavior):

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

I've run into this because uwsm is stricter about the spec than KDE for example.

For the update to version 1:1.2.52.442-2 a new GPG key is needed. And despite being mentioned in the build script, the automatic import failed. But manually importing fixed it.

Changing the line from gromit's pinned post to this before running the update did the trick for me:

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