spotify-player error

I am trying to use spotify-player.
On the first start successfully credentials.json is created.
But in the log file there is a error mesage:

librespot_core::mercury: error 403 for uri hm://keymaster/token/authenticated?scope=user-read-recently-played,user-top-read,user-read-playback-position,user-read-playback-state,user-modify-playback-state,user-read-currently-playing,streaming,playlist-read-private,playlist-modify-private,playlist-modify-public,playlist-read-collaborative,user-follow-read,user-follow-modify,user-library-read,user-library-modify&client_id=65b708073fc0480ea92a077233ca87bd&device_id=abcd181f-e77f-49fb-a9a8-94d46e36acf4

How can I resolve this error message?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403 - according to reddit™ spotify tells you to get lost if they think you're using a VPN.
Do you only see some stray error message or does it also "not work™"?
