I’m attempting to use Mopidy on Ubuntu 22.04.
I’ve installed, uninstalled and reinstalled trying to work out the problem with Spotify constantly giving Gstreamer errors when trying to play any tracks.

I have all my Spotify credentials and keys set up in my mopidy.config and have (I think) followed the installation instructions and guides so I’m really not sure what I have done wrong.
