Error: Player command failed: No active device found

but we might be able to make a spotify devices command that shows devices and their IDs, as well as a spotify play --device_id flag.

Yes that's right, but I mean that I can try to hardcode the URL with my device ID to see if that solves the issue, before to start coding the new commands.

you should be able to start a session (open spotify and start playing music) and the CLI should work fine.

Yes that works.

I'll take a look at this soon, but we might be able to make a spotify devices command that shows devices and their IDs, as well as a spotify play --device-id flag.

In the meantime, you should be able to start a session (open spotify and start playing music) and the CLI should work fine.

@juanfgarcia I've implemented both commands on the master branch, but I think we might also need to call https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#endpoint-transfer-a-users-playback for your use case.

Now devices list serves the displays id's. But play --device-id still giving the same error until you play the song in the Spotify app.

Your suggestion about transferring the users playback sounds good. Let me know if you implement it so I can check.
