Current Behavior

Title: Not working radio

Description:
When starting radio from any track,

Steps to reproduce:

Open Spotube v5.1.1 (installed via AUR on Arch Linux).

Authenticate with the Spotify metadata plugin.

Try to start the Radio feature on any track.

Actual result:
Nothing happens - the radio feature doesn't start, no visible feedback to user. But in the logs there's an error:

File: spotube-plugin-spotify/src/segments/track.ht
Line: 33, Column: 50
Runtime error: nullObject
Message: Calling method [$sub_setter_] on null object [item].
...
MetadataPluginTrackEndpoint.radio
TrackOptionsActions.actionStartRadio

Expected result:
Radio should start and fetch similar tracks without crashing.

Additional information:

Clearing Spotube cache and trying different tracks does not fix the issue.

Existing issues report some nullObject errors, but none specifically for the Radio feature.

System:

Spotube v5.1.1, AUR

Arch Linux

Expected Behavior

When I click “Start Radio” on any track, Spotube should launch the radio feature, fetch similar tracks, and start playback without crashing. The app should handle cases where track metadata might be missing and not throw a nullObject error.

Steps to reproduce

Open Spotube v5.1.1 installed via AUR on Arch Linux.

Authenticate with the Spotify metadata plugin.

Select any track.

Click the “Start Radio” option for that track.

same issue. did you find any workaround or fixes?

[Vlad14c]

I just studied the logs and realized that it was a plug-in, and I wrote to the developer of the spotify plug-in, so we are waiting for a response. I tried to rebuild the plugin from source, fixing the code, but nothing worked for me.
