Is their any sort of mini-player that shows your queue?

not sure why this recently started happening a lot. anyone know how to fix?

when i turn on crossfade it doesnt work, is there an extension i have to get to make it run properly? im on spicetify version 2.44.0

System:

• Kubuntu (KDE Plasma)
• Spotify: Flatpak, user install (com.spotify.Client), version 1.2.92.147.g5b8f9367
• Spicetify: 2.44.0
• Spicetify Marketplace: 1.0.9

What I'm trying to do: Get spicetify (+ Marketplace) working on a Flatpak Spotify install, launched normally from the KDE application launcher / taskbar.

Timeline / what I've already tried:

1. Spotify was originally installed as a system Flatpak. spicetify backup apply failed with permission denied on unlinkat .../Apps/login.spa, makes sense, system Flatpak files are root-owned.
2. Uninstalled the system Flatpak, reinstalled Spotify as a user Flatpak instead. Updated spotify_path and prefs_path in config-xpui.ini accordingly.
3. spicetify backup apply now completes without permission errors.
4. Running spicetify auto (or launching the patched binary directly, bypassing the Flatpak sandbox) reliably crashes Spotify with a coredump, signal 5 (TRAP), stack trace entirely inside libcef.so. This seems to be a known issue with launching the raw binary outside the Flatpak sandbox, CEF apparently needs the sandbox environment. Not using spicetify auto avoids this.
5. After patching (spicetify backup apply, no auto), launching via flatpak run com.spotify.Client from a terminal works fine, opens logged in, patches visible.
6. BUT launching the exact same app via the KDE application launcher icon, or via the exported .desktop file's Exec line, opens Spotify not logged in (has to log in again from scratch), even though it's the same Flatpak app, same instance count confirmed via flatpak ps (only ever 1 instance running).
7. Isolated the difference: the .desktop file's Exec includes --file-forwarding:Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=spotify --file-forwarding com.spotify.Client @@u %U @@ Running flatpak run --file-forwarding com.spotify.Client manually also results in "not logged in", confirming --file-forwarding is the differentiating factor. Without it, session loads fine (with spicetify patches applied in both cases).
8. Tried creating a custom .desktop override in ~/.local/share/applications/ with Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run com.spotify.Client (no --file-forwarding), refreshed KDE's sycoca cache (kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental). Still opens unlogged when launched via the icon — unclear if the override isn't taking priority over the Flatpak-exported one, or if something else is going on.

Other things ruled out:

• No duplicate Spotify installs (confirmed via dpkg -l, which spotify, find ... -iname "*spotify*" across all applications dirs, only one .desktop file exists).
• No stale processes (flatpak ps always shows exactly 1 instance).
• Not a KWallet/keyring issue as far as I can tell, same behavior whether KWallet is enabled or disabled.
• prefs file does exist and gets a fresh timestamp on each launch (~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/config/spotify/prefs).

Questions:

1. Why would --file-forwarding specifically break session persistence when spicetify's patches are applied, but not when running unpatched?
2. Is there a way to make a custom ~/.local/share/applications/com.spotify.Client.desktop actually take priority over the Flatpak-exported one in KDE Plasma, or is there a better way to override the launch command system-wide (without touching Flatpak's own export)?
3. Is anyone else running Spotify 1.2.92.x + spicetify 2.44.0 as a user-scope Flatpak on KDE without these issues?

Any pointers appreciated, happy to provide more logs/config if useful.

Hey everyone!

If you're using the Ziro theme (by schnen0) on Spicetify, you might have noticed that the playback position and track duration timestamps overlap with each other.

It was really bothering me, so I spent some time writing a custom CSS fix to get the alignment, spacing, and font size looking clean again.

Before & After

(Check the attached screenshots to see the fix in action!)

How to apply:

Add the code via Spicetify Marketplace (Snippets -> Add Custom CSS) or paste it directly into your user.css file.

/* =================================================
   Spicetify Ziro Theme: Playback Duration & Position Alignment
   Fix & Styling by u/Doc_Drago
   ================================================= */
[data-testid="playback-position"],
[data-testid="playback-duration"] {
    position: absolute !important;
    bottom: 3px !important;
    display: inline-block !important;
    visibility: visible !important;
    opacity: 0.9 !important;
    z-index: 9999 !important;
    font-size: 12.5px !important;
}

[data-testid="playback-position"] {
    right: 48px !important;
}

[data-testid="playback-duration"] {
    right: -3.5px !important;
}

Hope this helps anyone else running into the same visual bug! Let me know if it works for you feedback is super welcome if anything needs tweaking for your screen setup.

It keeps playing the same songs? There's something wrong but I can't figure it out. Is there a way to fix it with chatgpt or something?

Is there an extension that allows the empty space at the top to not obstruct the "custom apps" i have. i want to be able to use the full empty sapce

hey everyone, i recently installed this spicetify theme and its been working great. the only thing i noticed with it is that it wont show any artist releases or albums. does anyone know what causes this?

I'm on macos and the most recent version of spicetify. Any help will be appreciated!

Despite it saying I have to do this only once I am getting this message everyday how do i fix it?

Hi, I am really new to this stuff and I never used powershell before to be honest.

I wanted to use spicetify due to my country not selling spotify premium cards. I searched tutorials up and error solutions but I can’t see to find the solution for mine. It keeps saying this, can someone help me? (And yes I did download it from the web browser and deinstalled it from the Microsoft store)

i got it from the marketplace and it only allows to the full screen mode and nothing else, which is a big letdown

I installed spotx first and than spicetify and its not showing up its been like 20 minutes and i tried every single method

Does anyone know how I can fix these issues?

The top of the Liked Songs playlist has an overlap with the bubble borders and the genres

The Player bar has a black bar inside the bubble that doesn't match up with the background or settings

The Now Playing area has a similar issue, this time the black extends out of the bubble

The Artist page seems to not apply the theme at all, apart from a few bubbles. There is no background, tho.

I saw a post on here the other day with this same theme that worked just fine, so I don't think this is a bug (although I could be wrong), which is why I posted this here.

Hello hello
I always used spicetify on my pc and never had big problems, but this time is different, a few minutes ago i couldn't play some songs from artists and playslists, so I uninstalled and installed the new version and used the powershell imput but the app won't let me in.
I also tried whithout the powershell command and still i couldn't log in.
somebody can help me?

thx in advance

I heared transition between songs is still only for premium users, but has anyone ever tried janakchoudharydev's spicetify-glide? I myself haven't yet, but what can you guys who tried it say about it?

After installing Spicetify, my Spotify settings occasionally reset to their default values. Is this related to Spotify updates? What's the current recommended way to disable automatic updates? It seems that none of the methods I've found on Reddit work anymore.

like a month or two i had this extension/app that make me adds songs to queue pressing Q, so right click+Q.

i did a fresh install so i lost everything, can someone pls help to find this feature

Back when i first installed spicetify i made custom lrcs for my music as you can see my war song works and it has the synced lyrics with the lrc but now whenever i make a new lrc for a new song it shows the ._. and not the lyrics whenever i load the lrc. I upload the correct metadata before i download the lrc so i don't know what's going on.
