Error while setting up platform spotify

Configuration
1

Hi all,

Still pretty new to home assistant, but loving it so far. I’m running HA on a CHIP and it’s been working great.
I added the spotify component which worked like a charm. Unfortunately, since this morning the component stopped working. This is the error it gives:

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.media_player] Error while setting up platform spotify

I have spotify setup in the config file as follows:

media_player:
  - platform: spotify
    client_id: !secret_client_id
    client_secret: !secret_client_secret

Anyone knows what this could be and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance,
Glenn

Hmm, I’m wondering if spotify changed thier responses. @anon35356645 this may be a bug and your config in the other thread is probably correct.
