Error: Adding a song/playlist to LMS fails with NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource (Firefox) or Failed to fetch (Chrome) error.
This happens because of something called Mixed Content which is forbidden in modern browsers. Because LMS is HTTP only (as per original design and not subject to change according to developers), calls from a secure origin (Spotify) to an insecure one (LMS) are considered a security concern and blocked by modern browsers. Since I don't have access to the Spotify servers in order to fix this at the source, the only workaround is to manually enable insecure calls for Spotify in you browser. Read more about Mixed Content here.
To manually allow Mixed Content for Spotify in your web browser, please follow the steps below then refresh the Spotify web page:
- Google Chrome: click the padlock icon next to the Spotify URL in the address bar, then Site Settings then scroll down to the Insecure content option and change it to Allow
- Mozilla Firefox: click the shield icon next to the Spotify URL in the address bar, then scroll down to HTTPS-Only Mode section, click Manage Exceptions and in the newly opened popup type open.spotify.com inside the open.spotify.com field then click Turn Off and Save changes
- LMS player auto-discovery
