Spotify search does not work.

[Squeeze5]

So I've downloaded the latest version of the plugin on my lavalink server and I also added it to my application.yml file, and for some reason it doesn't work and gives me an error:
WARNING:cogs.Music:⚠️ Spotify search failed: Failed to Load Tracks: error=Something went wrong while looking up the track., severity=fault, cause=com.sedmelluq.discord.lavaplayer.tools.FriendlyException: Something went wrong while looking up the track., using YouTube

Is there a fix for that?

Your application is blocked from accessing the Web API since you do not have a Spotify Premium subscription. Upgrade to Spotify Premium to access the Web API and unlock additional features for your app.

This is shown in my app's page in https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/

And my log when I try to play a Spotify song is:

I fixed it, thanks!

[MXUMX]

How did you fix it?

I fixed it, thanks!

[Squeeze5]

@MXUMX You can use a different version of LavaSrc, you need to do this in your application.yml file.

- dependency: "com.github.infnibor.lavasrc:lavasrc-plugin:08f7f9e"
  repository: "https://maven.pcreators.pl/snapshots"

With this in the spotify caregory:
preferPartnerApi: true

and we must set up customTokenEndpoint:
