 As a side note, if you're not already aware of it, I'd strongly
recommend grabbing the new version of CuteSpotify from the Open Store:

https://open.uappexplorer.com/manage/com.mikeasoft.cutespotify

 As this provides full background playback (including when the screen
is turned off).

Cheers,

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Spotify, Vimeo and Youtube issues

[Seth Ciango]

I agree that Spotify would be a great addition. Michael Sheldon's
"CuteSpotify" for UT is the only reason that I began paying for Spotify in
the first place. It would be great if Spotify would work with you.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Spotify, Vimeo and Youtube issues

[André Fettouhi]

Many thanks for the reply. I opened up two bug reports one on the Vimeo
account issue and the other one on the youtube issue with the video and
music scope. The issue is also present in the youtube scope itself btw.

Many thanks
