Closed issue by harrisonthorne on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25587 Description: ### System * xuname: `Void 5.8.13_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF` * package: `spotify-1.1.26_2` ### Expected behavior On my previous install with Arch Linux, I was able to control Spotify playback with `playerctl`. I'm using awesomewm with keybinds to control audio playback, with commands such as `playerctl play-pause`. These commands work for other MPRIS players like Firefox and MPV with the mpv-mpris plugin. ### Actual behavior `playerctl` doesn't work with Spotify, and playback information doesn't show up in my [muse-status](https://github.com/harrisonthorne/muse-status) bar either. ### Steps to reproduce the behavior Bonus issue: Currently it seems that spotify-1.1.26_***1*** is unable to be installed correctly/completely from the official nonfree repository: ``` ~/D/void-packages $ sudo xbps-install spotify Name Action Version New version Download size spotify install - 1.1.26_1 - Size required on disk: 229B Space available on disk: 6123MB Do you want to continue? [Y/n] [*] Verifying package integrity spotify-1.1.26_1: verifying RSA signature... [*] Collecting package files spotify-1.1.26_1: collecting files... [*] Unpacking packages spotify-1.1.26_1: unpacking ... [*] Configuring unpacked packages spotify-1.1.26_1: configuring ... looking up repository.spotify.com connecting to repository.spotify.com:80 connecting to 13.249.200.159 requesting http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.1.26.501.gbe11e53b-15_amd64.deb http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.1.26.501.gbe11e53b-15_amd64.deb: (null) Failed downloading spotify client ERROR: spotify-1.1.26_1: [configure] INSTALL script failed to execute the post ACTION: Operation not permitted Transaction failed! see above for errors. ``` So I am using the spotify package from my local repository. 1. Install spotify from a local void-packages repository 2. Make sure `playerctl` is installed too 3. Play a song on Spotify and try to toggle playback with `playerctl play-pause` Here's an extra little bit of information: ``` ~/D/void-packages $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify was not provided by any .service files ``` (Taken from [this issue on the Spotify discussion forums](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Media-Keys-Don-t-Work/td-p/4586503/page/6))
