Hello all,

I’ve this beast running for ages now, absolutely solid and always ready to play some music. Tonight, i have gone to put some music on and it simply won’t find anything on Spotify.

I did some digging around, and found this error in the /var/log/mopidy/mopidy.log file.

2021-12-16 20:06:09,742 - ERROR Fetching [https://auth.mopidy.com/spotify/token](https://auth.mopidy.com/spotify/token) failed: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘[auth.mopidy.com](http://auth.mopidy.com)’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /spotify/token (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(“bad handshake: Error([(‘SSL routines’, ‘SSL3\_GET\_SERVER\_CERTIFICATE’, ‘certificate verify failed’)],)”,),))

I changed the client ID and secret prior to finding this, but this is an SSL error on mopidy part?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess time to look at a different solution, this one appears entirely dead.

Guess so. You could try “pip install --upgrade certifi” but I’m not interested in maintaining Pi Musicbox any longer.
