[BUG] Indexer Being Disabled Due to Spotify Rate Limit

[dhkatz]

Tubifarry Version

v2.0.3.0

Lidarr Version

v3.1.1.4884

Operating System

Docker

Bug Description

The plugin's indexer is constantly being disabled due to Spotify rate limits. I also never get any results when performing and automatic or manual search.

I see in the logs that the Spotify token is being created fine, and the YouTube Trusted Session Generator appears to functioning properly as well according to logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Plugin
2. Run Search for any song which uses Spotify indexing
3. No results, Spotify 429 in logs.

Expected Behavior

Spotify should not be ratelimiting so aggressively. This happens even when waiting hours between attempts. Possible issue with the Spotify app credentials being used here?

I we were able to supply our own Spotify app credentials I would try but we are not able to.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
Tubifarry is hitting Spotify's API rate limit because all users share the same application credentials. Since the rate limit is enforced per Client ID, any user's searches count against the shared quota, causing these 429 errors. So it has too many users now.
I'll add an option to the indexer settings that allows users to provide their own Spotify Client ID and Client Secret. This will give each user their own dedicated rate limit quota.

That's exactly the solution I was thinking of. If you need me to test any changes let me know!

This is my exact problem too, if you need any test i would like to try as well
