Custom module for Spotify flatpak (as well as the default "custom/media") not showing anything when playing media

[mattkel]

Fedora 32 on a Macbook Pro.

Quick Question.

Using the "custom/media" module with the mediaplayer.py from the default config doesn't show anything when playing a song from Spotify (flatpak version) or even a local song/movie using VLC.

I've even tried using other users dotfiles for a "custom/spotify" module which uses a shell script instead of the default python one, yet to no avail.

Could someone who has a custom module working with the flatpak version of spotify please link your dotfiles and/or explain why it might not be working for me? Perhaps a pathing or naming issue? Been stuck on this for a while lol.

Thanks, Matt

Is the module by chance a symbolic link? I've just come across the issue where my custom module is a symbolic link to a (python) script.

Had the same problem, after removing the "interval": 30, line from my custom config it finally worked.

I've also noticed that the script doesn't execute when it is a symlink
