Is anyone else suddenly having problems?

[John Halloran]

I've had some code that has been running reasonably well, and then suddenly today, whenever I call 'load' on a Hallon playlist, it hangs, seemingly forever (i.e. well into the minutes).

At any rate, as I've not made (intentional) changes to my Hallon code in connection with this happening, I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Also, if anyone has had this type of issue in the past, fedback would be welcome.

Thanks all!

I know of at least two possible reasons:

1. Spotify have server hickups — either publicly visible ones, or simply temporary internal

issues. They don’t always announce these issues, but some times they do: https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus

Keep in mind this could affect your libspotify applications, but not your desktop or mobile

clients. If it works on one platform does not mean it works on another.

2. Your local cache has been corrupt. libspotify keeps a cache directory, and sometimes

this directory can collect garbage that confuses libspotify — this could be the effect of libspotify

crashing, or simply running long enough. libspotify is not the most stable piece of software.

Remove the cache directory to resolve this particular issue.

With this said, like I’ve mentioned earlier, libspotify does not guarantee that objects load in

a reasonable time. Sometimes things simply don’t load. Unfortunately it’s kind of common,

which is why Hallon have #load to begin with (otherwise I’d just have made it automatic —

today I’d rather just do some other approach entirely if I were to rewrite it!).

From the status, it looks that there were login issues ~6 hours ago, but they are reporting that they've been resolved. However, I have been getting these hangs for a bit now, finally having to kill the process (a few times at this point). 

The app should do a decent job of clearing the cache, as I set the cache location using the pid of the app's process. However, for good measure, I also just removed all of the directories in the cache location.

Then, I managed to get a segmentation fault at login....

Now I'm back to having it hang indefinitely. My guess would be that the login issues are not entirely resolved....

Thanks for the speedy response!
