Player API .GetRecentlyPlayed() does not .NextPage() properly

[benlane2003]

When using the .NextPage() call on the List of PlayHistoryItems that is returned from the Player.GetRecentlyPlayed() call, the items returned are always empty, limiting me to only 50 PlayHistoryItems, I want to be able to .NextPage() them and get more. I'm assuming this is a bug because everything else does .NextPage() properly.

Hi,

How are you sure that you even have more than 50 recently played? Did you try to reconstruct the problem in the web api console? Pretty sure its not a bug on this project

It seems like the "total" field is always empty...

The problem is that I cannot find a way to do a NextPage() on the web console, do you know if there is a way to test a page flip on the web console? But yes I am very very sure I have more than 50 items, I've also tested it on multiple accounts, all the same.

What I meant is that spotify is limiting the maximum amount of tracks you can get with GetRecenlyPlayed, which is maybe 50.

But the item returned is a Paging item, right? So I assumed, just like all other paging items, it can be paged but it seems like this specific one can't page at all - or rather, when paged it always returns an empty page - it is strange because in the Spotify App itself, when I look at my Recently Played page, there are DEFINITELY more than 50 items. I might post this issue onto the Spotify For Developers Community as a topic.

Update, there have been topics about this issue posted on the Community since 2020, not a single reply from Spotify.

Yeah don't expect one. They're writing stuff like "give us feedback on the developer forums" for ages but actually ignore every bug report there.
