dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Stop

Import the public key with

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5E3C45D7B312C643.gpg | gpg --import -

then try installing it again

pamac build spotify

Blank Spotify or x-window

the error in the terminal should look like this

"spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by spotify)"

to fix this

just delete the spotify folder in your /home/<yourusername>/.config/ directory
