Spotify is an installable app but cannot be used

[shaokatzu]

When one logs in to Spotify via Station the error given is "Playback of protected content is not enabled." and lists the need for the "Widevine" plugin.

I suppose I don't know what else to say here, the issue seems straightforward but I don't see how it can be resolved client-side. Sorry if this isn't formatted properly or something, it's my first time posting on github.

Edit: I will add that this would be solvable perhaps if one could see the Google Widevine installation prompt, and be able to allow it. In my recent search for a new browser (before finding Station,) I installed Brave, and in going to the Spotify web app in that browser, it does indeed give an allow/deny prompt for the installation of Widevine.

Spotify requires Widevine DRM libraries to be installed.
The main problem is that Widevine software is not free and requires license agreement with Google.

Here are 2 solutions how it could be used (both haven't worked from the first try)

Discussion about it.

I'm closing the issue because I don't think we will be able to fix it soon.
