Hi, i Have same behavior on v3.1.1
I think it has something to do with the number of songs in the playlist, because for "short playlist" i got ( < 120 songs) spotube has no issue to load my playlist.

[KRTirtho]

@youlebret u r right. Currently, fetches all tracks at once without any pagination
Most of the time it loads after waiting for sometime. But it can also fail if the playlist is huge

[rdlr88]

Well for my case it's a big playlist , over 1000 songs so it just won't load at all

Pagination hasn't solved large playlists issues...

[pl1nk]

I have this issue, still not fixed 1000+ tracks playlist

[rramirezg22]

I gave up on Spotube and large playlists.

My current alternative: export with "spotify_to_ytmusic" and play with InnerTune

[KRTirtho]

Do you guys have local tracks in those Playlist? If the playlist is public, please share.

no local tracks.

Please try with this playlist that I made public temporally:

First of all, dude, that was like the best playlist ever.

And I see the problem, because it consists of over 1200+ songs while you try to play the whole playlist, it takes time to fully fetch the entire playlist.
Imo, it should start playing the available tracks and should fetch the rest of 'em in the background. The API latency needs to be taken into account as well. It's generally lower for the official Spotify client compared to the API they provide for 3rd party applications.

hey! thanks! glad you like Rock!

And that's the problem... most of the time it simply does not play. A few times it plays but after a really long wait time.
Any chance you could implement a delay background update and start immediate playing with the last version of the playlist stored locally?

[KRTirtho]

My solution is:
Fetch few songs (e.g. first 100 tracks) at first and start to play it immediately. Then, in the background, load up the rest of the playlist while the loaded up tracks are being played.

Thank you! Please let us know when your solution is implemented and merged to try it.

Same issue here.

Hello KRTirtho! Any updates on this issue ?

[KRTirtho]

Sorry, I forgot add it to the Project board. Thus the delay.
I'm working on this currently
