spotify-webplayerwrapper's Issues

featured on allaboutwindowsphone.com

Just a short fyi Unofficial Spotify player (Web wrapper) UWP - is (almost) brilliant http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/23417_Unofficial_Spotify_player_Web_.php

Player is unresponsive on lower end devices

Since last week player controls have become extremely laggy - for example pausing/resuming song takes about 15s. I suspect that Spotify changed something about the web player because this issue is present even on older versions that ran just fine (tested on v1.1.11.0).

Now the web player lags even on my desktop PC in Microsoft Edge, but runs okay in Google Chrome so I think the only thing that can be done about this issue is to wait and hope that Spotify fixes this performance issue on MS Edge or it will be the end for web wrapper.

Can't install on Lumia 950 XL

Hello, I have an Lumia 950 Xl version 1511 10.0.10586.318.
I tried to install app on.
On Device Portal, I have an error message :

Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. (0x80073cfd)

If I tried to install directly on device, with explorer, no error appear and app doesn't installed.

Sorry for my english,
Thank you.

Context menus from '...' buttons misplaced after scrolling

Scrolling a song list down and then tapping on any of the '...' buttons makes the context menus open where they would open if the content hasn't been scrolled down instead of opening right next to the tapped button. The distance between the button and the menu further increases the more you scroll down until the menu starts opening beyond the screen, making it look like the button doesn't work.
Tapping and holding on a song instead of tapping the '...' button opens the menu where it should be.
I couldn't reproduce this problem on my desktop browsers with a mouse.

Podcast episode dates display square placeholders

Happens to emojis as well.

Maybe using font fallback should help, as described in this article:

Episode description page layout is broken

Its code structure differs from other pages with the top banner, and therefore needs a separate styling.

App has been unpublished from the store by Microsoft

Sad news. I have been informed via e-mail that Microsoft has unpublished this app from the Microsoft Store because they reviewed it again and found out, that it breaks store policy 10.1.1

The submission is a web app and must be published by the owner of the related domain or website.

Tis is something that cannot be fixed, because the app relies on access to open.spotify.com because it's just a wrapper and since I am not the owner of that domain I cannot use this URL in this app.

From my understanding it has nothing to do with the "Spotify" in the name and I think that I made absolutely clear that this is not a official Spotify app, the problem is "only" with the URL that it is using.

I have no idea what i should do next, and why would they go you of their way to remove this app when it's available only for mobile device which will be discontinued in a few months.

Active navigation menu buttons cannot be pressed again

This becomes an issue when Now Playing Bar is expanded, and so in order to minimize it back to a Compact Playing Bar it is necessary to click the button other than the currently active one.

Daily mix page is blank

Every daily mix page is blank, but only on mobile.

I tested it on Lumia 535, Lumia 640 and multiple WM emulators (every device is running version 1709 FCU). The daily mix page renders correctly if the app is launched on desktop Windows 10 (tested on version 1809) so I guess it has something to do with the rendering on the old Edge browser.

The problem is that it is nearly impossible to debug html content on WM as the page inspection and console in visual studio debug mode doesn't work in combination with remote debugging.

Spotify no longer supports mobile MSEdge (end of this app?)

I've been notified that the Spotify web player now shows warning message about unsupported browser version.

The app still works for now - the only difference is the warning message. But it's only matter of time until they add new features that will not work with the (old) mobile Microsoft Edge and I don't think that this is something that can be fixed.

So once they change something critical it will be the end for this app 🙁.

Edge Browser has been updated to Chromium based - App no longer functions

What can we do about this?

No custom styles applied on Lumia 535

Device: Microsoft Lumia 535
OS version: 1607 (14393.2551)
Resolution: Default (150%)

App fails to apply custom styles. I'm not sure what causes it, but it looks like it tries to make changes to element before it even exists which is strange, because the function is supposed to run after the page has been loaded.
I cannot reproduce it anywhere else (all emulators + lumia640 are okay)

Screenshot

Volume Bar is displayed only when audio is played on another device

I'm not sure if this is an intended behavior, but it's somewhat confusing. Volume bar only shows up under Connect device picker when audio is played on a device other than the one you currently use. This also makes it impossible to change the volume directly from the device for which the volume was modified.
