Track is not playable in country

[timolins]

If a try to play a track (no matter which track it is), I receive the following error:

Error: Track is not playable in country "AT"
    at eval (../../../node_modules/spotify-web/lib/spotify.js:1041:8)
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:534:11)

I'm using nodewebkit ("classic" NodeJS worked just fine). And yes, the song is playable in my country (Tried the tracks with Desktop Client & Web Client).

So it works with vanilla Node.js but doesn't work in node-webkit?

[timolins]

As far as I can tell, yes.

/cc @rogerwang perhaps? (I'm not too experienced with node-webkit)

Could this be the issue? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24543816/spotify-web-api-track-playable-in-the-us-even-though-us-is-not-in-available-mar

Have there been any updates on whether or not this would work?

I've tracked the bug down to spotify.js line 960. It's using the has function to compare an integer from restriction.catalogue to a string from type which is deriving from line 959.

[dralletje]

It is because of a bug in protobufjs I think: the catalogue enum is not mapped to it's string values.
I have no idea how to fix this in protobufjs so I just made a workaround, should I send a pull request? https://github.com/dralletje/node-spotify-web/commit/0907ce7aaed7819bfa2535635ff11031a6970b80

@dralletje i noticed a small issue in your fix in that it kept trying to map undefined values. I have created #110 which has a fix that works for me

@TooTallNate @antxxxx

FYI, this last fix actually broke the functionality on my machine. Rolling back fixes it.

@antxxxx I've tried your fix, and didn't work for me. :(

[arnav-gudibande]

just replace this function in lib/spotify.js with this:
(this is just a quick and dirty fix)

Spotify.prototype.recurseAlternatives = function (track, country, fn) {
debug('recurseAlternatives()');
function done () {
process.nextTick(function () {
fn(null, track);
});
}
done();
};

this bypasses the buggy "check country" code
