Fixed Spotify Redirect URL for Local Development

[RayyanSeliya]

Problem

While setting up the ListenBrainz project and integrating Spotify, I encountered an issue with the redirect url http://localhost:8100/settings/music-services/spotify/callback/. Spotify detects this url as not secure in the Developer Dashboard, because they have updated their way of accepting the callback url as I have attached the screenshot .

Refer the screenshot below for the updated guidlines of spotify :

I also noticed this url is hardcoded in config.py.sample , so I believe both the docs and this config need an update which will help newcomers for local development

Solution

successfully updated server development docs by updating the callback/redirect url of spotify to : https://127.0.0.1:8100/settings/music-services/spotify/callback/ as suggested by @amCap1712 to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
and also updated the config.py.sample :

and please ignore this commit : c632f07903b28312f2c407d0d59b5bad517f1d3e

For posterity, we are waiting for Spotify to fix their buggy URL validation.

Spotify has fixed their URI validation on their end, so this is now ready after a small change.
