why is spotify web player skipping songs

I tested them.įor info, their official app works nicely.I think it’s same to assume jssdk stands for JavaScript SDK, meaning that’s the Playback SDK itself. I know few open-source browsers like Brave and Vivaldi work nicely with the Spotify website. The process for VMP certification is to simply generate signature (for Chromium that would be both chrome.exe and chrome.dll) signed with appropriate Widevine-accepted certificate (note this is different from signing binary on Windows and if both are done, VMP must be performed after). (Search 'Browser CDM - Verified Media Path') Hibbiki, a developer, explains me that ever since Widevine 元 been publicly broken, Google has tighten out security around it and pretty much all resources using Widevine now require VMP (Verified Media Path) on Windows and Mac to be enabled. No?Ĭhromium needs the support of the H.264 codec + Widevine CDM plugin to play songs on the Spotify Website. 0 + Proprietary codecs, Windows and Linux builds provided by Marmaduke ( could try to make an 'anonymous' account with a temporally E-mail. They have resolved this issue but I haven't tested it out yet, it would very interesting to see what fixing Vivaldi folks have done. Thanks to with whom I've been discussing this issue, I got this screenshot:Īnd links to some pretty interesting discussions from Spotify forum (see the last comment) and Vivaldi forum. Maybe this bug is related to ungoogled-chromium because Spotify web player worked fine for me on Edge (based on Chromium 89) and Brave (didn't test, but I used Brave last summer and it worked fine), though few users have reported facing such issues.

Anyways this does not seem to be a Widevine or missing component issue coz all the tests given here returned positive. I don't have a Mac so I am taking Shivesh's word on it that it does not work on MacOS either.

Spotify web player works alright on my Debian machine but not on my Windows 10 laptop. I also did my testing and found the same thing.
