Everything works except song won't start

[ncosper]

Not sure what Im missing here but when sonos hasn't been played for a while and I try and start up a song it won't start. It adds the song to the queue, sends the correct url to the server but I get a 500 error at clientrequest.lib.get. Not sure what the error means but the player just won't start. If I start it using either the desktop or mobile app then I can pause and resume just fine, change songs, volume etc, just cant start after nothing has played in a while.
Here is the log:

I am having the exact same problem. My log looks the same as above. At this point I can only play music in one room, unless I group others to that room. Please help.

What happens when you call http://xxxxx.ddns.net:5005/house/musicsearch/apple/song/artist:Paul%20McCartney directly?

When I call http://xxxxx.ddns.net:5005/house/musicsearch/apple/song/artist:Paul%20McCartney directly I get the following:

I can recreate this issue when I remove my spotify clientId and secretId from settings.json. You should have a settings.json at root folder:

{ "port": 5005, "securePort": 5006 }

You need to add after the '6' in '5006':
, "spotify": { "clientId": "e6ebb7f5c7f4477d84f66edfa86e3641", "clientSecret": "YOURSECRETHERE", }

Takes just a few minutes to log into spotify and create an 'app' and create the keys.
Try that? Simply go to: https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/#!/applications/create , login, and to get your client secret click the 'show client secret' button. Put that in your settings.json
