Playing all saved tracks

Plan

Currently, the API only provides a https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/tracks call to get all saved tracks, but no proper way to play them all, without calling https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play with the IDs of all tracks, which doesn't work properly with large amounts of tracks. Playlists, albums etc. have a context uri that can be used instead, but that seems to be missing for saved tracks and other similar library items.

Hey @kraxie, thanks for posting here!

Let's see what could help here! Could you try the following context URI: 

"spotify:user:{{username}}:collection"

 to play the user's tracks. Let me know how you get on!

Have a great day and happy coding!

Hi and thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. The API responded with error: "Non supported context uri".

Ditto, getting the exact same issue.

The context uri you can use is spotify:user:yourUserIdHere:collection as mentioned by Hubo. You can use it with the Start/Resume Playback endpoint.

Thats the solution.

It works perfectly for me

I get `Player command failed: Restriction violated`. Did I missed a scope or Spotify changed something here?

Hey @MijikBro 

The required authorization scope is user-modify-playback-state.

Does it work when you use this?

With the console, everything works as expected.
