Spotify not recognized as a player

Post by matm »

Hello

I got a new laptop, installed Mint 20.2, and Spotify from Software Manager.
Spotify is not recognized as a player, so multimedia keys and/or shortcuts are not working.

I tried to reinstall as flatpak, no improvements.

Is there a command or a trick to set this up ?

Edit: Coming from Mint 19 on my other machine, upgarding to Mint 20.2, Spotify was and kept being identified as a media player.
