Hi and thank you for the report!

This issue is fixed in #1145 and has also been raised in #1144. Until then, you can compile with --locked to prevent cargo from using the newest version, but rather the version that compiles.

Hope this helps!

Note: you can put such logs in a fenced code block, such that it gets formatted nicely. :)

I'm sorry for not understanding very clearly.

1. I tried to compile with cargo build --locked --release --no-default-features --features pulseaudio_backend,dbus_keyring,dbus_mpris.

2. I tried with locked and release switched.

3. I tried only with locked.

In all situations, I kept the flags.

Did you mean to do only cargo build --locked ?

And if that's the case, how can I "turn on" the flags then?"

[eladyn]

Oh, yeah. That indeed doesn't work, since I somehow updated that version to the not working one some time ago.

I think, the easiest fix for you should be to check out #1145 and compile that version. That should work without errors.

[m0r4a]

Im sorry for taking so long, it compiled properly, thank you so much!!

If anyone needs to know what I exactly did:

1. Installed github cli from the AUR

2. In the spotifyd directory ran the following command in order to go to the 1145 pull request:

gh pr checkout 1145

3. Compile the code with the following command:

cargo build --release --no-default-features --features pulseaudio_backend,dbus_keyring,dbus_mpris

4. Install the resulting bianry

cargo install --path . --locked

Thank you so much for the help and support, eladyn
