Changelog - Spotify
Custom Fields - Spotify plugin - v5.2.0 PRO 5 6
1 June 2026
- Addition: Supported content types: track, album, playlist, artist, show and episode.
- Security: Hardened the render template against stored XSS:
- Fix: Modernized the player to Spotify's current embed endpoint (https://open.spotify.com/embed/{type}/{id}). The obsolete open.spotify.com/embed?uri=... endpoint is no longer used.
- Fix: Switched stylesheet loading to the WebAssetManager for automatic cache-busting.
- Fix: Replaced the deprecated HTML align attribute with CSS classes.
- Change: Replaced the legacy installer script class with a namespaced installer registered through the DI container
- Change: The field now accepts both a Spotify URI (spotify:track:ID) and a share URL (https://open.spotify.com/track/ID?si=..., including an optional intl-xx/ locale segment).
- Change: The color setting now maps to the embed theme (dark adds ?theme=dark; the default is the light theme).
- Remove: the Follow Button option, which Spotify discontinued (the embed.spotify.com/follow endpoint no longer works).
- Remove: the obsolete View (list/coverart) option; the layout is now driven by the player height.
