No spotify playlists, known fixes not working

[Rick_Jellema]

Hi there!

For some reason, my musicbox pi does not show any of my personal spotify premium playlists.
I can listen to the top lists though.
I tried the fixes on the internet. But none of them worked.
As for some reason, in my config file of Mopidy, on the
[spotify] part. there is nothing set for Cache_dir: . I tried a rm -r /var/cache/mopidy/spotify to remove the cache but it doesn’t exist.
I also tried to delete var/lib/mopidy/spotify but that didn’t work either. Also tried a fresh reinstall.

I’m sorry if I’m missing something really obvious.

Topics with same problem I tried using.

Musicbox spotify playlists not there?

Hi folks I just upgraded to version 5.1 after a fairly long absence. I have Spotify running quite nicely, however I do not know how to navigate to my playlists. I can search for music and play the top 100, but no luck finding my playlists. (clicking on “playlists” just produces a blank page) Thanks for any assistance.

No longer seeing any Spotify Playlists

I have a Terminal only Musicbox OS on my Pi.

Seemed I fixed it after using this solution:

I found something. Removing and reinstalling the libspotify12 package fixes the problem for me: apt-get -y remove libspotify12 && apt-get install libspotify12 && service mopidy restart hope it lasts, so I can create the final version of MusicBox 0.5.1. It’s the way I fixed a strange bug some time ago too… I commented out the cache_dir setting in the config too.

This one works for me

Hi Robert, had the same problem, did TheRealMolens trick and now it works like charm. So if this is still a problem for you here are the steps: login to to your musicbox by ssh cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy_spotify/ (if it’s not there on your musicbox you will find it by using “find . -name session_manager.py”) nano session_manager.py scroll down to " def refresh_playlists(self): ""“Refresh the playlists in the backend with data from Spotify”"" if not self…

I have tried all fixes listed here and am still having no luck getting Playlists to load.

Running PMB 0.6 and Mopidy 0.19.5

There’s a v0.7.0 release candidate at https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/tag/v0.7.0RC3 you can try if you are interested. Please report any issues.

Thanks, I’ll check it out today.

Got the RC up and running. Seems to work but still has no Spotify playlists. As my installation is living solely for the purpose of Spotify, it’s not a huge help, but I can confirm that I got it running on an RPi 3 with no extra sauce needed.

Can you try restarting Mopidy? If you have a lot of playlists it needs time to load them all. You should be able to restart Mopidy from the command line with service mopidy restart or by enabling and disabling a random (non-Spotify) extension in the websettings.
