Spotify - Request failed: gateway timed out (504)

Hi @BrandonBosch, a 504 error often stems from a stalled API session, especially with high playlist counts overwhelming the initial sync. Please try the following:

  1. Force a Spotify re-authentication:
    a. In djay Pro, go to the top menu bar and select Library>Log Out of Spotify.
    b. Then quit djay and reboot your Mac.
    c. Reopen djay, log back into Spotify, and wait a few minutes for the initial sync.
    d. Instead of browsing all playlists, use the search bar in djay’s Spotify window to pull up a specific playlist (e.g., “Hard Techno”).
  2. If that doesn’t work, verify that Spotify’s servers are responding normally outside of djay.
    a. Open the Spotify desktop app or web player (open.spotify.com) and try loading a large playlist or navigating your library.
    b. If it’s slow or errors out, Spotify’s servers might be temporarily overloaded—wait 10-15 minutes and retry in djay.

I hope that helps!
