spt keeps returning to error when I connect to Sonos

[koenichiwa]

The Sonos box is not detected by spt. This is handled in #426.

When I change the device with another Spotify player to my Sonos box, spt shows an extensive error message, which I can't copy/paste: a convert failure due to a null. The only variable that seems to be null is context.

There is a prompt to "click esc to return", but when I do that, it shows the main window shortly and immediately returns to the error message. This means that I can't control spt in any way anymore when a song is played from my Sonos speaker, and I have to return to the standard Spotify player.

I'm willing to help resolve this issue, but I will need guidance.

Yes, for me it's the same! And your issue was the first in the issue list for me (god thank you)

Maybe it would help just to allow the device ID null
