Spotify - Playlists are not retrieved/displayed

Configuration

Hello :blush:

I have a problem with the Spotify integration.
I was able to set everything up, can play music from Spotify on my Alexas etc.
However, my playlists are not retrieved/displayed and I get the following info:

Have you checked the log files for any errors? (Settings > System > Logs)

I use the “normal” Spotify integration of Home Assistant.
Can this integration retrieve the playlist natively, without further settings?

I read something about Spotcast, do I need that?

AFAIK, it should pull back playlists in the media browser (when launcher from a media player card). I’m not sure what’s up with the error messages. I’m assuming you setup your developer account successfully?

I use a Spotify premium subscription and I can see all my playlists, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.

FYI - I created a SpotifyPlus integration that has built-in media browser support, provides near real-time UI updates (using smart polling), a ton of custom services (including playlist retrieval), and much more. Check out the links below for more information.

As for your problem … based on the logs you provided, it appears that one or more of your playlists are missing a cover image; the fetch_image_url method is failing because it assumes there is an item at the zero index position, and there is not (proven by the TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable exception).

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for your answers and for supporting me with this problem.

Thanks for the hint with the covers, this could be the solution.
I have created some playlists, but no songs in them yet and therefore no cover picture.
I will test this right away.

I’ll have a look at your Spotify Plus integration, thanks for the tip.

Glad I could help.

FYI … I just verified that was the issue. I created an empty playlist with no cover image, and the built-in Spotify integration returned the “Unknown Error” dialog and the TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable log message.

I wanted to make sure my SpotifyPlus integration could handle it (and it did). :smiley:

The missing covers were the problem.
Many thanks for your help :blush:
