spotcast: Casting returns error 'total'

Description Spotcasting my playlist to a device (through entity_id) works fine, however whenever I enable ‘Random Song’ or ‘Offset’ the service doesn’t run at all and errors out saying ‘total’. See logs below for more information.

Using latest version of spotcast
I have setup the Spotify integration in Home Assistant
Using latest stable version of Home Assistant
I have Spotify Premium
I’m attaching relevant logs with level debug for component spotcast (see README)
I’m using entity_id in the service call and have tried device_name but the issue remains

Environment (please complete the following information):

HA version: core-2021.11.5
spotcast version: 3.6.21

@Mothamoz don’t worry I wouldn’t participate in an open source project if I didn’t enjoy trying to figure these things. While composing the issue for spotipy, I seem to have figured out something. I tested on my dev env and in the first dictionary I printed, we have a key which is tracks. The value inside that is the actual dictionary we are looking for.

I think I have a way of resolving the issue from our end without modifying the uri itself, which would be ideal. If I have a potential fix, I will update this issue, but I won’t close it, because it is still the Spotipy that should make sure to return consistent dictyionaries for valid URIs.
