Nice work! Am looking forward to switching to this add-on instead of the ones I'm currently using!

However, have run in to the same issues as others before me in this thread; getting this error when starting the add-on (after logging on and adding the app to Spotify in the browser):

Login error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in
position 0: ordinal not in range (128)

My username doesn't have any special characters, although my password may have. My account was previously linked to my Facebook account that has special characters (but is no longer linked to it).

Am using the (as of this writing) latest available build of your add-on (1.0.12) and Jarvis 16.1 on MacOS X 10.11.3.

Here's the relevant parts of the log-file:

Again, thank you for developing this add-on - contemplated doing something similar before, but then realised I don't speak Python and shelved the idea xD



Edit: Messed a bit with passwords and whatnot, and it seems that the issue is unrelated to passwords at least, and likely to username too (as neither of them now contain non-ascii characters).
