If I removed client_id in app.toml spotify_player works correctly, but I prefer to use my own client_id.
I believe this is not spotify_player problem but another problem on spotify side. However, I don't understand why using ncspot's client id works but mine does not. I understand mine does not have "extended quote mode" but I'm the only user. Is there any problem with how I set up spotify app? Maybe we can use this issue to track when we can finally use our own client_id?
Any input is much appreciated. Thank you!
